How badly does the Bush campaign want Ohio? As the Wall Street Journal noted this morning, the president has decided he’s not above bribery.
With Ohio’s 20 electoral votes up for grabs, Bush administration Homeland Security official Suzanne Mencer travels to Marysville to deliver a $675,000 grant for a new firetruck.
Bush “grossly underfunds” the Department of Homeland Security, but two months before Election Day, he’ll send cash and an administration staffer to Ohio so the local fire department can buy a new truck. How subtle.
