ALLISON GRIMES

McConnell had become very rich as a senator despite the relatively modest salary paid to members of Congress. As soon as Grimes announced her candidacy, McConnell launched a serious of negative attack ads to try and define her negatively for the voters. She then retaliated. This is one of her retaliations. The campaign was a good example of Congressional races then where candidates spend very little time and resources telling the voters what they were for. Instead they spend their resources and efforts on stating what is wrong with their opponent. Grimes lost to the incumbent who outspend her in their mutual attack campaign. McConnell never did explain how he had become so wealthy.
