TRENTON - Democrats say two Republican congressional candidates have intentionally tried to downplay an upcoming fundraising visit to New Jersey by President Bush.
Republicans denied the charge.
Bush is scheduled to be in Colts Neck on Sept. 22 for a private fundraiser for Chris Myers and state Sen. Leonard Lance.
But the Lance-Myers New Jersey Trust, which is hosting the event, has not announced the visit by the unpopular president, leading Democrats to charge that the candidates do not want to be publicly associated with Bush.
"This has become the game plan for Bush loyalists in New Jersey who want to take the money the president can bring in without getting caught on film," said Democratic State Committee spokesman Richard McGrath. "But Chris Myers and Leonard Lance are Bush Republicans and they have the campaign cash to prove it."
