Gazette reports that Cheney coming to Davenport for Whalen
No time reported.
So is Whalen "known by the company he keeps?" By my count that's two (2) traitors that Whalen consorts with.
I hope Braley pounds him on his buddying up to the Bushies.

1. It's all about $$$$$
I've read on other blogs that the appearances are only about raising money for Whalen. Who's gonna care who came to visit on behalf of Whalen if he has 2x as much $$ as Braley? :shrug: Even if the majority of Whalen's $$ came from himself! d.

2. I thought Whalen ran as an outsider
And the first 2 things he does after winning the primary is hold campaign fundraisers with Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. As for Cheney and his 20% approval rating, I doubt there are many of that 20% that live in the Democratic leaning 1st District. Cheney and Rove won't help win the moderates.

4. I think Hitler had a higher approval rating in the US
during WW2. 20%. That means out of his own family only one would vote for him.
Two years ago Leach had Cheney and Rummy in. Hope he brings them in again. Loebsack would be all over it.
So please Bruce, beat Whalen with the club he gives you.

3. Saw it in the QC Times as well

And there was no time listed in it either. They must be scared to tell us when and where. And I agree with you, I hope Braley needs to shred him on this.

8. I too noted that the articlle listed no time or place.
We can rule out union halls, local taverns, hmmm. let's see. Of course..The Thunder Bay Grill (which Whalen owns). He is always having his political events there. The time would probably be sometime in mid day when no actual working people could show up. Would love to picket but need more information.
