Joe Biden is in Milwaukee today raising funds for Democrat candidates from the 7th and 8th congressional districts.
Note: Those districts are in northern Wisconsin, not bordering Milwaukee, not even close. See map.
Nonetheless, Biden is looking to get cash from southeastern Wisconsin libs for those races.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Vice President Joe Biden will return to Wisconsin on Friday for another fundraiser, but this time for two Congressional candidates.
...On Friday, he will hold a lunch reception at the Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee to raise money for two Democrats, State Sen. Julie Lassa and U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen. The prices range from $250 to $2,400
Lassa is trying to defeat Republican Sean Duffy for the 7th Congressional District seat, which is being vacated by longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. David Obey.
Kagen is facing a challenge for his job in northeastern Wisconsin's 8th District from Republican Reid Ribble.
Steve "'terrorist slayer' on 'injun time'" Kagen is toast.
Forget it, champ. It's over, Joe.
As for the race in the 7th district, the Journal Sentinel is calling it a toss-up.
Huh?
The Hill's poll shows Sean Duffy with a 9-point lead over Dem Julie Lassa.
Democrats are poised to lose Rep. David Obey’s (Wis.) district — one of several long-held Democratic seats in danger of becoming Republican trophies this cycle.
The Hill 2010 Midterm Election Poll found that Democrat Julie Lassa trails Republican Sean Duffy by almost 10 points in Obey’s district.
Toss-up?
Obviously, Biden being dispatched to Milwaukee to raise funds for Lassa and Kagen is a desperate move.
Actually, I'm glad Biden is back in Wisconsin.
What delicious stupid remark will he make this time?
Love ya, champ.
