It’s also the only high-profile race where Obama can be safely sent without fear of his presence causing the Democrat to lose.

I mean, every other post on FR is about how Obama is setting new records for unpopularity; and yet people somehow can also believe Obama is going to Delaware because the Democrats want to help Coons win. Amazing.

Well, not everybody is a ace political analyst like you and me. :)

a bit LOL.... I was thinking this too -- surely Obozo would be in some place more "important" to the country (no offense, Delaware-ans) if his presence could make any positive difference.....

The Obamanation team had to pick a place that (1) was not a sure loser, and (2) where Obozo's presence might be regarded as a benefit to the ticket. That narrowed the options severely....

Obama wouldn't be wasting his time if Del. was going to be blowout.

There are other Blue States where he is still popular with the Democrat base and are much in closer races.

He went to New Jersey three times as well, and it was thought unthinkable that the GOP could win there.

With Obama’s unpopularity, I believe that Obama will help Coons lose.....
