Bush is Nuclear

Rep. Davis: Bush Is 'Absolutely Radioactive'

@ 5:34 pm by Andy Barr

Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) thinks that President Bush is "absolutely radioactive" and that any Republicans close to the him will suffer electoral consequences.

Davis, who made waves for a shockingly bleak memo about the electoral outlook for the GOP this fall, tells Bloomberg TV in an interview that will air tonight that GOP members have "got to get some separation from the president."

"Republicans, I think, have time to turn it around to some extent," Davis tells the network.

"But, if they don't, we're cruising for a bruising."

Davis has been mentioned as a possible replacement for current NRCC chair Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) following three straight special election defeats for the GOP. The Virginia Republican is not seeking reelection.

Amazing. At a time when solidarity is key to securing a victory in November, the Republicans count their biggest asset as their greatest liability. When the President of the United States, could actually hurt your reelection ideals, there is an issue. When everyone was following along, not many spoke up with their disagreements because they knew it was solidarity that continues the party lines, and build supports for all involved. Way to dig your own grave.
