Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said vulnerable Senate Democrats should and will invite President Barack Obama to campaign with them this year.“Anytime the president of the United States appears supporting a candidate, it helps,” Reid saidin an interview with CNN set to air at 7 p.m. He noted that Ronald Reagan’s appearances in Nevada in 1986 were unhelpful to his own first election to the Senate.Asked if he would encourage his most endangered colleagues to invite the president, Reid said, “Yes, and they will.”
solidarity, good he's pushing those who would run away for fear of red state voting to stay on course if they start jumping ship they don't follow the party line they just want the perks and position, if they are not with us they supply another vote in opposition of us.
Republicans must net six seats to win the Senate majority next year. The vast majority of the most competitive races are for Democrat-held seats, including several in states Obama lost in 2012.Reid’s comments came one day after Gallup released a list of the 10 states with the lowest approval of the president’s job performance in 2013. Democrats are defending seats in five of them (West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, Alaska, Arkansas) and hoping to pick up a Republican-held seat in another (Kentucky).His remarks also came as Senate Democrats actively put distance between themselves and the president on policy. In just the latest example, Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., on Tuesday excoriated the White House for opposing a Senate flood insurance bill that would delay insurance premium increases.In the short term, the president’s immediate travel plans don’t include any states that are hosting competitive Senate races this year. In two post-State of the Union address trips on Wednesday and Thursday, Obama will travel to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Tennessee.
if they helped by exposing republican agenda and realize they got elected there before and now they don't trust the voters they are fickle but if he were to get out the real 411 on ACA instead of tucking their tails outcome could be very different than expected. what they are doing by avoiding Pres. is giving it away. then they are not willing to fight for themselves puts a question mark on how much they will for you, sad as it is, we may need to depend on the loyalty of blue dogs.
