Dave for Congress

Jeff Lamberti is at it again with those bizarre campaign tactics. Yesterday at the state fair grounds, George Bush made a campaign stop for Lamberti. In what I’m sure was a confidence-inspiring speech, Bush assured those present:

There’s “no doubt in my mind, with your help, that Dave Lamberti will be the United States Congressman,” Bush said. “Dave and I believe a lot of things.”

Dave? While the Iowa Republican Party thinks that Mr. Bush’s visit will energize the GOP vote, just whom are they turning out the vote for? As if ballots weren’t confusing enough. But surely even if the president doesn’t know the guy’s name he can make an accurate prediction about how he would vote in congress.

There is also the possibility that this whole bring-in-the-big-guns scheme won’t work because people don’t actually like the president very much right now. Bringing in the president to tell us that he and ‘Dave’ share a lot of opinions will probably discourage many Republicans and serves as a convenient reminder to Democrats of just why it is important to vote, volunteer, and donate in the next week and half.
