ShareHoping to secure the much-needed support of caucus moderates to get the president's tax cuts extended before the end of the year, the WH is deploying Treas Sec. John Snow to address the weekly luncheon tomorrow of the House GOP's chief moderate org., The Tuesday Group.
Snow's trip up Penn Ave comes in the wake of grumbling about the Treas Sec. by some congressional GOP leaders at last week's bicameral retreat.
But after Snow pushes the mod's to keep the tax cuts in place, the group will hear from MS Gov. Haley Barbour (R), whose priority, it is safe to assume, will be more in capital construction investments than capital gains cuts. (And he might weigh on efforts to take away post-Katrina tax breaks from gaming interests.)
Such is the dilemma GOPers face in governing.
