Update from McConnell Campaign
Posted: Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Dear Team Mitch supporter:
The following release has just been sent to the media. Senator McConnell has opened a 17-point lead in this campaign as a result of your hard work and dedication.
We can expect the liberal special interests to continue to pour resources into Kentucky, so we must not let up and continue working harder than ever through Election Day. With your continued support this will be a great year for Republicans across Kentucky. Let’s keep it up!
– Justin Brasell and Scott Jennings
