Bush will be in Bucyrus, Kan., this afternoon to raise money for congressional candidate Nick Jordan.

He is expected to help bring in more than $400,000 at the fund-raising event which will be at a private home. It is closed to the press and public.

Most of the money being raised will go to Jordan, a Republican who is challenging Rep. Dennis Moore, a Democrat, in the Kansas 3rd congressional district.

Located off of U.S. 69, Bucyrus is a few miles south of the Johnson and Miami county line.

No information has been provided about when or where Bush will arrive in the area or how his visit will affect traffic.

Comment on Prime Buzz:

I bet the Hispanics had the grounds....real nice for the Bush visit. I wonder if Hermes has exploited the illegals for several years to put him in a position to entertain the President. Ole Bush will probably set it up for him to get some more cheap labor thru his Mexico President buddy and all of the drugs he could ever want.

3. KS Democratic Party Re-Writes Invitation To Local Bush Fundraiser

Kansas Democratic Party Suggests Revised Invite to

President Bush’s Campaign Fundraiser for Nick Jordan

Topeka - In light of Sen. Nick Jordan’s welcome association with President Bush, Dick Cheney and the failed policies of the Bush administration, the Kansas Democratic Party is suggesting a more appropriate invitation to this Thursday’s fundraiser.

“A lifelong Kansan, Nick Jordan is a strong supporter of President George W. Bush, and Bush’s policies at home and abroad.

“For 12 years, Nick has worked tirelessly in the Kansas Senate to create a moderate public image, while never wavering from his true conservative credentials and his support for our President.

“Nick believes in President Bush and his policy of keeping our troops in Iraq indefinitely. Nick believes there’s nothing wrong with America that can’t be fixed by continuing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq. Read on…

Given how poor his popularity levels are and how disastrous his presidency has been, it’s no surprise that GOP candidates want to stay as far from Bush publicly as possible, but they’ll take his help to raise money from the fringe party base nonetheless. (see Senator John McCain) I have to hand it to the Kansas Democratic Party. They have embraced the internets and are showing some serious backbone. It helps to have strong Democrats like Governor Kathleen Sebelius and Rep. Nancy Boyda around to back up their message.
