Jim Messina quotes:

This election isn't about Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. It's about you. The other guys write $10 million checks and make $10,000 bets. But we've bet this campaign on you.

When Kenny first came to me, I think he was thinking of making a nice little folk record, but in my opinion, folk music had come to an end and I felt he needed to go to the next step, the next generation.

At that time, I was signed to Columbia Records as an Independent Producer. I spent many weeks forming, auditioning, rehearsing and recording demos for Kenny, who was finally signed to Columbia Records.

We're doing exactly what the Republicans don't want: getting more people involved in our democracy. Giving more Americans a voice in their future.

We recorded several of Kenny's songs in the living room of my home.

It is a lot cheaper to spend eight hours in a rehearsal hall than in a recording studio.
