Gard going into the campaign bubble

Assembly Speaker John Gard, running for Congress in the Fox Valley, apparently has decided to adopt the George W. Bush approach. The Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert reports:

Gard said his job is to "turn off the television news" and "stay focused" on his own campaign.

"I understand the significance of the race locally and the significance of the race nationally," he said. "If I haven't done my job to inspire people to get out to vote, it's going to be a tough night."

Turning off the television news and staying away from the newspapers has done wonders for Bush. Let's hope some time in the bubble works as well for Gard.
