With regard to that, I was, I could say, a victim. That is the way I saw it with that very type of ad late in the campaign asking people to call Jeff Sessions and say you are opposed to A, B, C, or D--to things he had done while in office. I think we can take two approaches to it. It fundamentally troubles me that the League of Conservation Voters do not feel free to run an ad and say vote against this guy just like the people who ran ads against me. Why shouldn't we just let them do it? They should have to put their name on it and say who is funding it.
