A couple of videos from Rep. Jim Watson *** UPDATED x1 ***
Friday, Jun 6, 2008 - Posted by Rich Miller * I thought you might like to see these. Rep. Watson, as most of you know, is a Marine reservist stationed in Iraq. Here are two new videos from the Department of Defense which feature Rep. Watson. The first has a shout-out to the folks in Springfield… *** UPDATE *** My good pal Jerry Clarke, who is also stationed in Iraq, is the proud father of a new baby girl: Reagan Marie Clarke was born at 8:17 pm last night. 8 pounds 11 ounces. Mom and baby are said to be doing fine.

This guy is going to be Governor or US Senator some day.

I’m not surprised Rep. Watson is doing well there in dealingwith the various factions in Iraq. They are probably spell-bound by the accounts of Gov. Blagojevich’s antics. All Watson has to do after telling them what Blago has done is say, “Just do the opposite.”

Rep. Watson, stay safe and thank you for your service.

Jim has potential written allover him. One of the few rising stars in the Repub party.

Jim Watson’s service to our country is a breath of fresh air after watching the circus in Springfield this spring. Watson for Governor!!

An inspiration, an example of public service, and a reminder that’s there’s still some talent in the political ranks. I ehco Dan S’ and Las Vegas Kid’s comments.

Anyone know what Battalion he is in over there? Is he with the Chicago battalion that left a few months ago? 2nd Bat., 24th Marines?

From his website:
“Representative Watson re-enlisted in May as an E-6 Staff Sgt., USMC Reserves, attached to the Civil Affairs Group (CAG) at Camp Pendleton, California.
“Jim is a current Marine Corps reservist with the 3rd Civil Affairs Group in Camp Pendleton, CA, and is a veteran of the first Gulf War.”

I’m not real familiar with Marine Corps structure, but I know he’s deployed with the 3rd Civil Affairs Group, out of Camp Pendleton, CA.

Keep up the good work Jim. There’s a beer or 2 waiting for you at Brown’s when you return.
