Looks like we won’t be seeing ol’ Deadeye Dick here again
Remember all the fun we had last year when Dick Cheney did that fundraiser for Randy Kuhl? If not, let me remind you with this picture we took of some Nazareth College Republicans who seem to be big fans of the VP:
Well, it looks like there will be no repeat performance from Big Time:
Once popular enough to charge donors $4,200 for a handshake and a photo, Vice President Dick Cheney has become a much less sought-after fundraiser among House Republicans.
Almost 10 months into the year, Cheney has headlined one fundraiser for an incumbent House Republican, Rep. Sam Graves (Mo.), who is facing a tough race next year against former Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes (D). And no GOP challengers to House Democrats have ushered the vice president into their districts to help raise money.
It’s a stark contrast to 2005. Fresh off a big Bush-Cheney re-election that also brought GOP gains to their House majority, Cheney headlined fundraisers for 10 GOP incumbents and three Republican challengers that year, according to Democratic estimates.
I don’t know what to say. I guess we’ll always have Paris.
