Earlier this week... I chirped about the POTUS... And how he's naga... Naga... Not gonna come campaign For Culver.
Today, the VPOTUS was in Catholicsville, USA (that's Dubuque for you people reading in Story City). Rallying in support of Pelosi Lieutenant Bruce Braley. Political visits out of the White House can be a funny thing to read sometimes... I've been involved in a few for candidates here in the Hawkeye State. They can mean a few things...
1) As a favor for a member in leadership to raise some funds
2) Protect turf for a future re-election campaign
3) Garner up some buzz for a challenger... Or...
4) Recovery Mission: to help save or keep someone in office
Friday's stop was most definitely a #4... Oh look, politics is like the value menu... Anyways, here's the thing about White Houses... They don't like to be embarrassed too often in elections when they don't need to. Vice President Biden's visit means, its very close there... Even, maybe salvageable.
I want to go back to President Obama's last trip here in that so very typical backyard in Des Moines not so long ago *heavy smirk*... Chet Culver promised that Obama would be back to rally for him. Well friends... The schedule has been released... Polls have been looked at... After checkin through a few channels and keeping an ear out... Guess what... No POTUS visit.
If you needed any more evidence that a one term Governor that will be Chet Culver... I didn't say so... Polls didn't say so... The White House just did.
Stay thirsty... More on its way...
