Former Congressman Jim Leach is holding Republican's for Obama events
across the state this week. I have a couple of thoughts on this.
1.Outside of Davenport and Iowa City Leach doesn't have much influence
over the Republican electorate. It's just a gimmick to garner news
coverage. In fact many Republicans in Iowa City and the Quad Cities
are pissed off at him, so his crowds might be rather small. 2.Anyone
else find it odd that Leach is about to do more campaigning than he
ever did for himself. Leach refused to do anything in his reelection
campaigns, and never really helped other candidates on the ticket. Now
he is actually working against our candidates running for the state
house, state senate, and Dr. Miller-Meeks who is seeking to knock off
Dave Loebsack.
