| It's that bad: Even Al Franken won't be seen with Obama |
| 2014-06-28 |
| [HOTAIR] With Republicans in Washington thus far successfully fending off bad boy tea party challengers in competitive races, odds makers are now indicating that the GOP has a better than even chance of retaking the upper chamber of Congress in November. President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... 's sinking job approval rating is not helping boost Democrats' chances. Speaking anonymously to The Hill, one Democratic Senator said Obama's "unpopularity" is troubling. "It's a tense time," the source said. It is with this backdrop that Obama descended on Minnesota on Thursday where freshman Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) is seeking reelection. Franken has spent the last six years maintaining as low a profile in Washington as possible, shying away from national press and casting himself as a politician exclusively focused on the interests of his constituents. |
