Republican candidates across the country are trying to devise clever ways to distance themselves from Bush this year. The Washington Post explains how Jim Talent in Missouri and Mark Kennedy in Minnesota are cooking up schemes to pretend they're not Bush clones:
These Republicans have hardly broken with Bush. Talent and Kennedy, after all, have invited him into their states this year to help raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for their campaigns. But their tactics are representative of the diverse ways, large and small, that Republican candidates are trying to put distance between themselves and the president and his most unpopular policies.Talent and Kennedy are responsible for Bush's unpopular policies. They voted for them. They made Bush who he is. And they should suffer the consequences at the ballot box in November.
Fired-Up Missouri created their own response for Talent who voted with Bush 94% of the time.
