C’mon, he was just trying to stimulate the economy. Thats what campaign funds are for isn’t it? Its like tax money, there is no limit on how much and on what you can spend it on.

Did he buy it for himself, or his beard?

Rick “spend thrift” Boucher has spent more on county hobby airports for the attorneys that support him than any halfa** left wing congressman in the country.

I prefer less, not more regulation. If donors are disclosed, I say spend it how you need it. Nobody would have blinked if he burned through 30k for blather from Shrum.

Talk about a waste of money.

He should have bought a used pickup truck. Doesn't he follow the latest trends in politics?

The negative news for democrats seems to be piling up today, none of it funny... except that he bought a Ford! Made me laugh out loud! Don't you just wish you could be a fly on the wall to see Obama’s reaction when he hears this one? Go Ford!

RealClearPolitics has this as a "tossup" race now.
Don't know why, last poll had Boucher up 10 over Morgan Griffith.
Oh well it is doable, here's hoping for change...
