Again, politics aside, it was a very good spot. They were able to place him in situations that relate to the average voter (cutting lawn and son's hair) and find a way to tie it into a relevant issue (cutting taxes). It passed the "truth test" and wasn't overbearing.

I haven't found it on YouTube so you'll have to watch the WKTV clip to see it.

From Mr. Hanna's Email; But the Congressional record doesn't lie.
Don't forget the Bush tax cuts that Arcuri stated he agreed with the rest of the dems to let them expire in 2010. Hold on to your wallets when that happens!
