President Bush is coming back to Northeastern Pennsylvania today.

That’s not a secret, but some of the details of his visit are.

For example, no one is officially willing to confirm the route the president’s motorcade will travel to his appearance at a fundraiser at Keystone College for U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood, R-Tunkhannock Township, even though someone thinking logically can figure the obvious route from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.

Bush campaigns for two endangered Republicans

WHITE HOUSE President Bush is campaigning for two G-O-P lawmakers today, as Republicans struggle to maintain their grip on Congress.

The president's speaking at a fund-raiser for Virginia Senator George Allen in Richmond, and one for Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood at Keystone College.

Allen's been battling allegations he used racist language and liked Confederate symbols -- after being caught on tape calling an opponent's election worker "macaca." In a recent poll, Allen and Democrat Jim Webb were neck-and-neck.

Meantime, Sherwood's been in trouble since admitting a lengthy affair with a much younger woman -- and settling a lawsuit claiming he choked her. In a heavily Republican district, a recent poll gave challenger Chris Carney an edge.

Press Secretary Tony Snow says Bush has no qualms about helping either candidate.

As to Sherwood, Snow says Bush believes "we're all sinners" who deserve forgiveness.

Sherwood ‘Calling In Chits’ With Right-Wing Leaders
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/17/sherwood-chits/

Rep. Don Sherwood (R-PA) had a five-year affair with a 29-year-old woman that ended in 2004 when she called 911 after Sherwood allegedly tried to strangle her. The woman has now sued Sherwood “for what she alleges were repeated beatings that seriously injured her physically and emotionally.”

Sherwood acknowledges he had an affair with the woman, but denies the allegations of abuse.
