The reason I don't agree with you on this Hound is that the internal polls showed Coakley down by 5 to 8 points going into the weekend. That is an insurmountable lead and I think Obama simply made a strategic mistake to come there at the last minute to try to overcome such a big lead. Maybe they didn't believe the internals and thought they could get out the vote but they miscalculated on both counts....one, many Democrats were determined in their support of Brown and two, I think that black voters have gone back to their more normal enthusiasm for white Democrat candidates which is nowhere near the energy they had for Obama.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad he made the mistake and I hope he continues to come out and support Dem candidates. Nothing generates more energy for the GOP than Mr. Obama. I do think he will find himself more in the camp of GW with candidates not inviting him or outright asking him to stay away. Especially after they see his performance at the Coakley rally. What an awful thing to take a campaign mistake (making fun of the Brown's truck) and nationalizing it! He really has a tin ear and gets very bad advice......
