The senator said his program would cost about $15 billion over 10 years.

But time, as the senator had said, was running out.

The Senator said that was a 30 percent increase over the same period a year ago.

It was one of the best things any Senator said all week.

The senator said his plan was in keeping with past Republican practice.

"These things must have some sort of defense worked out," said the senator.

The senator and his 22-year-old son said they would spend up to $100,000 in this campaign.

The Senator said he did not want to sit back and "just hope for the best."
