Maybe it does have something to do with Foley after all. As TPMmuckraker reported earlier today, the GOP cited "scheduling conflicts" to explain why Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL.) and NRCC Chairman Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY.) canceled fundraising appearances with GOP Rep. Don Sherwood. But Jake O'Donnell, a spokesman for the Sherwood campaign, admitted that the Foley scandal played a role in the cancelations, telling the AP that pressure from Sherwood's Dem opponent Chris Carney was also a factor. Carney had issued a statement yesterday chastizing Sherwood for not canceling the appearance with Reynolds.
