Today, with an eye towards this year's congressional midterm elections, President Bush hits the campaign trail for his party and publicly appeared with a freshman congressman from Indiana.
Bush also met behind closed doors with Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, one of the most electorally vulnerable republicans in Congress. The President will attend a private fundraising dinner tonight for Santorum -- no pictures allowed.
