Minnesota Rep. Takes on the Army & Nascar.

Rayman — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 01:00:48 +0000

It’s pretty obvious to me the politician is simply trying to make a name for herself at the expense of the Army and Nascar. How embarrassing when we elect people to office that don’t understand the basics of advertising or promotion of a product. NASCAR is revving up to take on an effort by a [...]
