Full Version: Getting paid to run for President of the United States

This came from Fox News so, it has to be fair and balanced 
Apparently John McCain’s campaign has decided to use sitting president George W. Bush in the campaign. It seems he will be used in safe Republican havens like Texas (according to MSMBC) and more importantly to raise money - see link.

Bush gallivants around in AF-1, campaigning for what he hopes is his Republican successor. Let’s open Pandora’s Box a little wider. If it’s wrong for current candidates to campaign on their own behalf, is paying Bush to do so for someone else wrong?

Still, five or six senior campaign insiders spent the weekend at the senator’s ranch in Sedona, Ariz., to hold a private powwow on who they should hire for that campaign; what their national electoral college map should be; how best to use President George W. Bush on the stump in terms of fundraising and campaigning; which members of Congress McCain needs to court and spend time with; and who McCain will stump for on the campaign trail.

This shouldn't really come as a shock to anyone. Mr. Bush's puppet-masters' are more likely than not looking at Huckabee with disdain given the failure of an overly religious front-man.
And the 4 to 1 lead over Huckabee doesn't hurt his odds either.
Bush still has some sway over the upper one percent and their pocket books, so this could probably help propel McCain into collecting unrestrained funds during Primary season.
