Kiss of Death

Remember how Prez Obama campaigned for former NJ governor Jon Corzine? And how he stumped for Craig Deeds in VA? And how he raced to MA at the last minute to save Martha Coakley’s bid for the Senate seat vacated by Ted Kennedy’s took-forever-to-happen demise?

Remember how those turned out?

Well, the Administration has decided that, when you are in a hole, you just need to keep digging:

President Obama kicks off what might be called his “Save the Senate” tour this week, heading west to campaign for two embattled Democrats trailing badly against Republican challengers -- including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.

Bad enough Democrat Evan Bayh has decided to retire, bringing the total count of Democrat retirees to five….so far. Now Obama is going to pound sand campaign for Michael Bennet in CO, an appointee after Ken Salazar was appointed Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Bennet trails “Jane Norton, a former lieutenant governor and state representative, by 14 percentage points, and Ken Bush, a district attorney and former congressional aide, by four percentage points.”

That has to hurt…

After CO, Prez Obama plans to be the headliner at a DNC fundraiser in Las Vegas. Wait, what? LAS VEGAS??? The same city he told us proles not to spend time or money?? TWICE?? Wow…. The following day he will bury try to bolster Harry Reid’s numbers, and his popularity. Democratic strategist Bud Jackson explains:

“Obama won’t be able to save senators by visiting their states, but he can help them with fundraising, rallying the base and putting Democrats on the same stage as the president of the United States, which lends credibility.”

I don’t care who you are, that right there is funny!!!
