Bush to make rare campaign visit

From the BBC:

President George W Bush is due to visit the state of Iowa, in the country's heartland, to campaign with Republican Congressional candidate Jeff Lamberti. The visit comes amid a growing debate over whether the president should or should not be campaigning harder in the 7 November mid-term elections.
...The White House desperately wants the Republicans to win, to keep control of Congress - but many Republican candidates have made it plain that they do not see the president as a vote winner in their districts. Many have turned down the opportunity for Air Force One to touch down near them and those who have entertained the president have tended to do it in private, raising funds from the party faithful but keeping publicity to a minimum.
...One insider told ABC News "we want to keep our fingerprints off this mess."
