NRCC Comes Out Swinging on Gwen Graham

Gwen Graham, the daughter of former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., has won national attention from Democrats as she offers a major challenge to U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla. But, on Monday, Graham garnered the notice of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

The NRCC released a letter asking President Barack Obama to campaign in the North Florida district for Graham and supporting his signature health-care law.

After supporting an unpopular president and his even more unpopular law, Gwen Graham will need a lot more than just luck to win this November, said Andrea Bozek, a spokeswoman for the NRCC. If she is committed to running on President Obamas agenda, she should ask him to join her in the district.
