Bush coming to Nebraska to campaign for Smith

[Rose Siding]

President Bush will come to Nebraska on Sunday to try to help Republicans save an endangered House seat they’ve held for 48 years.

Bush will make a campaign stop for 3rd District GOP nominee Adrian Smith in either Kearney or Grand Island.

The presidential visit was arranged in the wake of polling last week showing Scott Kleeb moving within reach of the first Democratic congressional victory in western and central Nebraska since 1958.

Kleeb responded to the negative ads aired by the GOP and the anti-tax Club for Growth with a positive TV ad on Wednesday.

“Candidates usually close their campaigns by making promises,” he says in the ad. “I’d like to close mine by saying thank you.

“To the thousands of Nebraskans I’ve met during my campaign for Congress -- good people, who believe in good government. I approved this message because you’ve given me your ideas about how to make Washington work better.”

2. Go Scott!

Hopefully, people aren't gullible enough to swayed by a Presidential visit. I'm thinking this is a sign of desperation by the GOP. Does the focus on Smith mean that the GOP has given up Rickets for dead?
