President to Campaign for Talent in SW Missouri

President George W. Bush is coming to Missouri to campaign for Senator Jim Talent tonight and tomorrow. He’ll be in traditionally-Republican Springfield and Joplin, arriving in Springfield tonight and making a speech tomorrow morning at a rally in Springfield. He’ll be in Joplin for a noon rally there before heading on to Kansas. Analysts say Bush’s tour is intended to fortify the Republican base in states where Republicans are feeling the most heat.
