1. The Democrats have invited him to campaign in Wisconsin
for republicans. I read it somewhere on the web last week. A sarcastic letter to the white house touting his "effectiveness" as a campaigner this year. Santorum is avoiding him like the bird flu, and a neanderthal congressman in Arizona says he would not ask bush to campaign. I think the dems ought to egg him out of the white house.

2. Not unless there is another 911 and he's a "hero" again
I'm wonder if any smart-ass (D)'s will ask Bush to campaign with them?

:evilgrin:

3. Depends on the Republican...
If you're a supposed moderate running in a blue state -- like, say, Lincoln Chafee -- you don't want Bush anywhere near you.

If you're a far right freakshow running from a red state, why not? Tom Coburn may have bush on the bandwagon.

But at the same time, I can see where no one would really want him. At this point, he can't really help a campaign. He can only hinder it.

4. Seriously, Yes.
Look people, at least a quarter of Americans still support Bush-winkle. Mostly in the red states, I imagine. The candidates running in those states will gobble him up. He can still rally a portion of their base and always appeal to the wealthy, corporate interests. They are greedy, evil and truly dangerous.

We must never relent.

5. Suggested dirty trick tactic--
Post all over blogs, "President Bush is considering a visit next week to support Republican Candidate X."

Part of the goal is to make sure that when people google "candidate x" that "president bush" comes up in all the search results.

And to make it apparent that Bush supports Candidate X.

And try to provide key quotes and examples of why Candidate X supports Bush.

Remember, folks say that every republican supports Bush. Some people say there is isn't a single republican candidate that doesn't support Bush.
