Dems Turn to Clintons, Not Obama
Th Hill ^ | November 1, 2014 | Amie Parnes

Posted on 11/01/2014 3:09:58 PM PDT by lbryce

Democrats are turning to Bill and Hillary Clinton — and not President Obama — to save their majority in the Senate.

The Clintons have crisscrossed the country in recent weeks for Democratic candidates, and will each appear in key states this weekend where races could decide which party controls the upper chamber.

While Obama has been mostly sidelined — he’ll appear at a Michigan rally on Saturday where Democrats believe a Senate seat is safely in hand — the Clintons are traveling to red states where the president is not welcome. On Saturday, Hillary Clinton will appear alongside Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). She’ll then travel to Kentucky to appear alongside Senate candidate Allison Lundergan Grimes, who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY.)

Former Secretary of State Clinton will travel the next day to New Hampshire to appear at a get out the vote rally for Gov. Maggie Hassan and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton, his approval ratings still sky high, will stump in North Carolina for Sen. Kay Hagan (D) before heading back to his home state of Arkansas for one final rally for Sen. Mark Pryor (D).

Obama has been stuck mostly campaigning for Democratic governors around the country.

With his approval ratings in the low 40s, most Democratic House and Senate candidates have wanted him to stay away. In Kentucky, Grimes even refused to say whether she voted for Obama.

The flurry of visits by the Clintons comes with some responsibility.

How does the perv BJ Clinton fit in exactly with the war on women meme?

What is this? Rapists for women’s rights? Perverts for free condoms?

I recall that Clinton’s down-ballot effect was pretty disastrous to the ‘Rats during his time, especially at the state level.

If I had the money and time to do it, I’d recruit about 1,000 attractive young women to wear blue dresses, identical to the famous ‘blue dress’ to go into and protest a Clinton campaign appearance.

That would be just incredible. Even the MSN couldn’t ignore that.

(however, I’d do good to recruit 2 or 3 attractive young women to wear the dresses on my own, so I’d need some agency help of some kind lol)

The MSM seems to keep forgetting that Clinton’s disastrous first mid-term approval ratings sunk the Democrats in the House and Senate twenty years ago.

Here we are two decades later and its learned nothing about presidential unpopularity. Sucks to be them.

Grandpa Bill may find time for a little touchy feelie with some old gal friends.

I’m always dumbfounded at how many young adults view the Clinton years as “the good old days”.

Thay are thinking of the good old days when it was only the women Bill could actually get his hands on that were getting a royal screwing by a president instead of the entire nation.

The Clintons, and the Rats at large, have been withholding their scorn for Obama until after the 2014 election. On Nov. 5, the anti-Obama campaign will begin in earnest.

Every Rat under the sun (especially those considering a Presidential run) will be distancing themselves from Obama at a sprinter’s pace.

Someone has to take the blame, and since he’s a lame duck, Obama will be the one.

It’s going to be entertaining to watch.

Billy has historically been the kiss of death for rat candidates. He is obviously polarizing to the point of turning off independents for the sake of rallying the base. Results in most races is a trade off.

After Tuesday, Hillary is going to have to take a good long look in the mirror before she decides to plunge forward into the 2016 election abyss.

I suspect that she’ll realize that it’s an uphill battle. And opt to stay home with her grandbaby and bake cookies.

How many ‘could’ we win, not just likely but surprises?


Look at this 2014 elections map: http://www.investors.com/image/FPchart_141031.png

Hopefully, all 8 “greens” + Arkansas (a likely pickup) + an outside chance of 1 or even 2 “blue” surprises would give some safety net for a tough 2016 cycle (when GOP will have to defend 24 seats)
