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!!!

*crossing fingers* I hope they keep right on failing to get a clue.
I love the “more cowbell” attitude from the White House when it’s failed so spectacularly every time.
Just keep the Tea Prty from entering a candidate and its So Long Harry for sure.
Yeah, ya just gots ta love watching the dems implode.
They don’t seem able to hear that giant sucking sound.
Not that I care, I’m loving every minute of this.
I don’t think it’s “not getting a clue” as much as it is “we are right, and they are STILL wrong”, I think.
Regardless, I shall be stocking up on popcorn and beer as this transpires
Hm. It’s almost like those people who think that if they don’t speak your language all they have to do is shout louder and you’ll get it. They simply aren’t loud enough yet. Soon we will all see the correctness of their ways.

To bad “Turbin” Durbin’s seat isn’t up for election this time ’round, or he could come out here to the People’s Reublik of Illinois © and “help” him out. Failing that looks like Mark Kirk is going to be the
RINOGOP candidate running for Obama’s old Senate seat, now held by Burris. Still, at least he has a better view of national defense than the current and last holder do.Guess what I am trying to say is despite the sorry state of the dems nation-wide, we still have a lot of GOP types out there who need to learn the same lesson. You serve at the pleasure of the electorate. And are supposed to be our voice. Forget that at your peril.
Posts like this tell me that we need the “Warning: Reality Ahead” sign more than ever. Just sent it to cbullitt.
Beautiful. I am amused. Or is that “We are” amused? I forget these things sometimes. Ah, but…check the links!
