Letters in Amy McGrath campaign launch video were postmarked the same day

Kentucky Senate candidate Amy McGrath’s three-minute campaign launch  video retells her personal story of getting no answer to letters to members of Congress, then features four Kentuckians writing to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for help with personal crises.

The video implies that McConnell never responded, but it appears the letters were sent Tuesday, the same day that McGrath announced her bid for the Democratic nomination to challenge him.

TWELVE paragraphs...not until the last WORD of the last paragraph do they mention she's a Democrat.    *****rollingeyes*****

Worse yet, they never get around to identifying the party of that McConnell fellow they mention she's running against.   :shrug:

Except McConnell is a household word comparatively speaking.

I hadn't thought of that...I wonder if the author at Rollcall thought his readers could figure out McConnell would be running against a rat?
It does sound like bias though.
Good catch either way. :beer:
