Highlights what most people are seeing - Obama is toxic to your campaign and if you want a shot at winning a Dem must abandon siding with Obama and their votes on healthcare, cap and trade, massive stimulus spending. Keep an eye out for any ads a dem is running trumpeting their vote on these issues, it will certainly be a rare occurrence and likely the kiss of death. Just as having Obama campaign for you will be.

Has it only been 20 months? Candidate Obama swelled into office with an ambitiously liberal plan. He promised his party that his legislative items would be more than policy triumphs; they'd be political triumphs. Stick with me, he said, and we'll get credit for leadership. Voters will come to love this stuff. Polls will improve. I'll campaign in your district.
It was bunk, as many Democrats knew even back then. Witness the threats and bribes necessary to coax a bare majority for every vote. But enough went along. And now that the ambitious Obama experiment in liberal governance is going kaboom, his members—even those who voted with him—are running for cover.
