Miss him yet? Republicans promise to bring back the 'W' days

President George W. Bush speaks to Fox News

The Republican National Committee is still hawking "I miss W" t-shirts, but now they have a new message.

In a fundraising email sent out Tuesday, RNC chief operating officer Sara Armstrong promised Republicans would bring the leadership qualities of President George W. Bush to the Senate if they prevailed in the upcoming Nov. 4 midterm elections.

"President George W. Bush once said, 'I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well,'" the email starts.

"That's what America needs right now: a big dose of leadership. The kind of principled conservative leadership President Bush provided our great nation. And the kind of leadership Republicans will deliver when we win a Senate majority."

Republicans need to gain six seats to win back the Senate, and recent polling suggests control of the upper body of Congress is within their grasp.
