In Good Company
Today’s Register has it that the wildly popular commander-in-grief is coming to Iowa to campaign for gubernatorial candidate Jim Nussle. Nussle, best known for helping make a projected 5.3 trillion dollar surplus into a projected 1.3 trillion dollar deficit as Chairman of the House Budget Committee (sure beats pulling a rabbit out of a hat), will be teaming up with Bush to laud their distinguished record together.
Has Nussle looked at a poll lately? Maybe he thinks this will energize his base, but I can’t see how reminding Iowans of his connection to a President this deep in the lurch can help much with the all important Iowa swing voter. Of course, we all know that Bush can bring in the dough, and Nussle might as well try to extract everything he can out of the anemic President before he hits Nixon territory. Let’s not forget, Nussle does need the money—what else is he going to do, run on his record?
I can’t help but think this is the kind of news that makes Chet Culver salivate. Sorry for that image.
Just one more question: is Sheehan showing up?
