CJ interview gets a little WILD

Our candidate, Tyler Allen, had an hour-long interview today with the Courier-Journal. Kudo's to the CJ for broadcasting the interview live and online this year. If the CJ puts it up in their "ON DEMAND" videos, here's a link of where it might be:LINK

If you aren't following LEO reporter, Phillip Bailey on twitter, NOW is the time to start: twitter.com/phillipmbailey.
Here's a couple of his tweets while watching the interview live:

On experience and being first time candidate — @tylerformayor: I've been engaged with this community longer than any candidate in this race. about 3 hours ago via web

They're all nice, but @tylerformayor interview w/ @courierjournal's editorial board could be Ali v. Frazier — for nerds http://is.gd/5Re9A about 3 hours ago via web

Here at T4M Headquarters, we were surprised the CJ wanted to talk about bridges for 38 minutes, or 63% of the interview. There are other issues that the community cares about. Geez, this isn't a one-issue race, guys.

Also, Tyler talked to WHAS 11 from our headquarters yesterday about his reaction to the WHAS 11/ Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll:
