Hagan Doesn’t Avoid Obama

Rick Klein: “The pictures of Sen. Kay Hagan greeting President Obama in Charlotte weren’t on the Charlie Crist level. (That level of political infamy ranks alongside the Joe Lieberman-George W. Bush embrace, history enshrined by Crist’s victory in the Democratic primary for governor Tuesday.) Yet how Hagan handled the presidential visit suggests a realization that while Obama can’t and won’t help virtually any endangered Democrat this year, the president’s negative effects are already baked into the electoral cake.”
