George Bush was out on the campaign trail for John McCain today. The Republicans finally found a place where George Bush could show up -- the headquarters of the RNC. But, it's also a dangerous place these days. There's not a lot of love among the Republicans these days and the daggers are flying. Palin is mad at the RNC. The RNC is mad at McCain and Palin. A McCain aide thinks Palin is a "whack job." And, just about everyone, including Republicans, blame George Bush.
But, Bush traveled all the way (maybe 1.5 miles) from the White House to the RNC anyway:
President Bush paid a visit to the Republican National Committee’s headquarters Tuesday morning to thank aides for their hard work and also to rally them for the last week of campaigning.This should be even more inspiration to do everything possible to end the Bush era by soundly defeating Republicans up and down the ticket.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said the president would outline his view of the GOP, a party that is facing a toxic political environment largely because of the policies of the Bush administration.
White House spokesman Scott Stanzel, who traveled with the president to RNC headquarters, said the president encouraged staffers there to “work hard for John McCain and keep turning out the vote until the final ballot is cast next week.”
