GOP Getting All "Hope And Change" On Us
by Chris Bodenner
Republicans heart the new congressman from New Orleans:
Boehner touted Cao as a symbol of the party’s future in a memo Sunday night. In a release titled “The Future is Cao,” Boehner wrote that “the Cao victory is a symbol of what can be achieved when we think big, present a positive alternative and win the trust of the American people.”
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday that Cao’s election
represented a victory for a different kind of GOP politics.... “You now have the first Vietnamese-American occupying a seat that
nobody would have thought he could win. This is the opposite of
red-vs.-blue, base-mobilization politics.”
And this last bit is priceless:
After Hurricane Katrina, Cao’s rebuilt law office became a hub for community organizing and assistance to hurricane victims.
Someone should look into that.
