From The Morning Grind Sen. Evan Bayh called on his political supporters Thursday to donate to Rep. Leonard Boswell's (D-Iowa) campaign, a week before the Indiana Democrat visits the nation's first presidential caucus state. Bayh, who is expected to run for the White House in 2008, praises Boswell for his military service in Vietnam and notes that Republican challenger Jeff Lamberti is receiving strong support from the likes of Vice President Cheney and GOP political mastermind Karl Rove.
"Leonard's seat is the number one target for Republicans in Washington," Bayh writes, adding that Democrats are within striking distance of taking back control of the House from Republicans for the first time since 1995.
Boswell is a much sought after ally by Democrats who are eyeing presidential bids.
