If you get a deal for you or your district, I\u2019ve already instructed my staff and the staff of seven other senators that we will look at every appropriations bill at every level, at every instance, and we will outline it by district and we will associate that with the buying of your vote. So if you think you can cut a deal now and it not come out \u2019til after the election, I want to tell you that isn\u2019t going to happen.
