More Republican Jitters: Reichert Among the “At-Risk” 12
The D.C. publication The Hill reports today that eastside Republican Congressman Dave Reichert is among 12 vulnerable legislators who are now holding weekly strategy meetings with House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) in order to craft a legislative agenda that might help them hold onto their seats.
Hat tip to Goldy.
The meetings with the staffs of vulnerable members occur once a week when the House is in session, Boehner spokesman Kevin Madden said, and staff from 12 offices usually attend.Some of the members involved include Republican Reps. Steve Chabot (Ohio), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Jim Gerlach (Pa.), Bob Ney (Ohio), Dave Reichert (Wash.), Clay Shaw (Fla.) and Heather Wilson (N.M.). Each of those members’ districts is among the party’s most competitive, according to a chart compiled by The Cook Political Report.
Does Reichert have a position on the laughable $100 gas rebate idea yet? Is that the sort of agenda Boehner has in mind? Because I don't think it's going to help. Even the crybaby gas-whiners can see that one for the crock it is.
