With so many Republican candidates these days citing “scheduling conflicts” in order to avoid being seen with President Bush, it’s refreshing to see one young candidate who is willing to wrap his arms around Mr. 28% and hold on tight:
President George W. Bush is headed to the heart of Illinois to campaign for State Representative Aaron Schock.
The president will be in Peoria on July 25.
Schock’s campaign manager says details of the visit haven’t been worked out yet, but that tickets to a fundraising dinner will cost $500.
“Any patriotic American would be honored to have the President of the United States come to help them and I am very honored,” said Schock.
Granted, this is an R+5.5 district, but just ask Greg Davis how campaigning with members of the Bush Administration worked out for him in deep red Mississippi.
Any patriotic American would be ashamed to have George W. Bush, the President of the United States, to show up with them.
Colleen Callahan, I’m looking at you. Do something.
Is doing? It is very hard to get news of the race.
But it is political suicide.
I thought Schock had pulled a Mean Jean Schmidt (here: http://www.salon.com/news/feat… ) and advocated the dumping of nuclear waste in the district…
But this is almost as good, go Colleen Callahan!
