Camaraderie only goes so far. Witness Maryland’s own Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the chairman of House Democrats’ campaign organization, who appeared with retiring Virginia Republican Tom Davis at the National Press Club on Friday.
“I’m going to miss comparing political notes with Tom,” said Van Hollen. “As a member of the Washington, D.C., delegation, we’re also going to miss his tremendous leadership. I am grateful, however, that he has helped provide an open seat where we can have an opportunity.”
Ah, Washington friendships…
