Here we see the remnants of the Rat gameplan for 2010: send Obomba to Delaware to take credit for the expected win. Then the DNC Media pitches in on Election night by presenting it as the only important race, with lots of thoughtful musing about how the Tea Party may have “reached its limits” even as 70 Congressional and 10 Senate seats flip to the GOP.
Your scenario makes sense. Obama goes to on election eve and then claims his gravitas is what saved Chris Coons from certain defeat at the hands of those “right wing extremist tea-baggers”.
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.
As much as I hope that CO could pull this out, the demogaphics in DE are going to be tough, and I agree with your assessment that this is like Custer’s last stand for obuMAO. Notice he’s not heading out to be with Scarry to watch the NV polls, et al...;)
That's exactly how the spin will be spun.
