With President Barack Obama having negatives above 50%, one has to wonder whether Democratic Party candidates in what might be considered swing districts would want a close association with him.
Imagine my surprise at finding a photo for the President (probably to be) with his arm around 8th District Congresswoman Melissa Bean.
Oh, yes, State Rep. Jack Franks was in the photo, too.
After all, it was posted on his web site.
But, this is the way it will be cropped for use in her Republican Party challenger Joe Walsh’s campaign:
Which would be just awful if a) we were in Indiana and b) Joe Walsh were anybody but Joe Walsh.
Resembles the late 2008 campaign literature for State Reps. Sid Mathias, Beth Coulson and Rosemary Mulligan – same hero/pal – and I don’t mean Ms. Bean.
