 Why do I race? Is it for the people? I race for my sponsors. Politics can learn a lot from NASCAR. And not just because we politicians drive around in circles wasting precious resources, but because NASCAR drivers proudly wear their sponsors on their sleeves. Special interests spend ten million dollars a day influencing politicians like me. And guess what? It works! The Kentucky Senate race is costing 100 million dollars. And when it's all over, we'll still be driving in circles. I am Gil Fulbright, and I approve of anything that gets me contributions.
