As an aside, the photo was taken at Darin LaHood’s biggest Peoria funder. In addition to Dillard: Brady, Rutherford staffers and a few congresscritters, were on hand (no Erica Harold). Seemed to be lots of people. Should help in HIS bid to go statewide if he decides to do that.

- VonKlutzenplatz - Monday, Jul 29, 13 @ 1:56 pm:
Think about what the Obama comments will do to Dillard in a primary.
This photo will have a similar impact in a general.

“Taking nothing for granted, state Senator Kirk Dillard is cornering the ‘The Retired Republican Rotary Lobby’ or ‘3 “R”s’, with this picture of … Retired Speaker Newt Gingrich. Opposite of this page is the picture with Kirk Dillard with Retired Governor Jim Edgar.”

It’s true that being in a picture with bigger,grayer and meaner guys will make you look smaller, younger and nicer. The guy on the left only accentuates the point. He might be the only guy this picture doesn’t haunt.

Newt to handlers: “Who’s this guy? And what state am I in now?”
