Wishing And Hoping
The North Carolina Democratic Party is asking Vice President Dick Cheney, scheduled to make an appearance in Raleigh Monday for a state party fundraiser at a private home, to renounce that NCGOP ad featuring the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
NCDP chairman Jerry Meek said in a statement that, "Republicans have shown a clear lack of leadership on this issue."
"Since John McCain can't seem to reign in his own Party, Vice President Cheney should give it a try," Meek said. "Despite Cheney's favorable ratings in the low twenties, North Carolina Republican leaders obviously expect to raise money from Cheney's visit to North Carolina. The vice president should demand that State Republican leaders withdraw this ad, or refuse to come to North Carolina on the very day this ad begins to run."
Brent Woodcox, a spokesman for the state GOP, said Cheney is indeed expected to attend the NCGOP's "Victory Fund" event. The state Dems note that Cheney's event will raise $$ for down-ballot GOPers helped by the "Extreme" ad.
We're thinking Cheney is probably not the guy to take a stand on the matter. Just a hunch.
