Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that with just six days until the midterm elections, Democrats are standing on their own, apart from President Obama.
"As someone who is on the ballot myself in six days from now, I can tell you that any candidate wants to be able to stand on their own," Schultz told MSNBC on Wednesday.
"That's what our candidates are doing. They're focused on the issues that matter to their constituents," she said, adding "of course we have a common agenda that really unites us all," citing jobs and the economy.
Democrats are trying to differentiate themselves publicly from Obama's policies as Republicans use ads, debates and speeches to tie Democrats running in next week's midterm elections to an unpopular president.
Schultz herself, in a Bloomberg interview last week, struggled when pressed several times to name a Senate race where Obama has actively campaigned for the Democratic candidate, maintaining that "the president is campaigning in competitive races."
Obama has campaigned for some Democratic gubernatorial candidates.
On Tuesday, Obama was heckled by an immigration reform advocate while stumping for Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke. Some attendees were seen in a video leaving the high school gym where Obama spoke before he finished his remarks, similar to another speech for Maryland gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown earlier this month.
Republicans need to net six seats to win the Senate. Schultz predicted that Democrats would maintain control of the Senate but "it's going to be single digits either way."
C'mon Florida.
Rats. Sinking ship.

Rats throwing Hussein under his own bus?
But in local cemeteries everywhere, the dead gave rousing cheers for Obama and Dem candidates, for whom their votes have in the past been instrumental. Dead people have no corporeal needs, and couldn’t care less whether the living have jobs and health care. Said one well-spoken zomby: “The Democrats are for the poor! That’s how come they keep making so many. Democrats are for the dead! That’s how come they’re OK with an Ebola epidemic.” These words elicited wild cheering.
Well said.
The old Jews of Centuary Village will insure this hag gets re-elected.

.... The Democrats CAN NOT just start saying .... "Naw ... I don't really like what he has done while he was in office and no longer support his actions." and just walk away and expect us not to notice what they have left in their wake!!! .... HECK .... They themselves are responsible for all of the hurt and misery that they caused this nation. THEY should not be allowed to get away with this simply so they can feed their political appetite and extend their insipid careers! They practically destroyed this nation!
.... Because of what they have done and allowed to happen ...... They need to be gone from all leadership positions..... They need to suffer the wrath of the American people!
Any chance of this twit ever getting voted out or is her district gerrymandered so that all of the voters are far left wing Democrats, illegal aliens and dead people?
That's not how King Barack Ebolatollah sees it.
He knows that democrats are with him - sort of like jihadi moles just waiting for the elections to pass so they can all rise up together and resume their war on The Great Satan.
In 4 House elections her lowest vote percentage was 60%.
Her opponent, Joe Kaufman, is running a stealth campaign. He is Claude Rains, the Invisible Man.

That common agenda involves voting 99% of the time in support of Obama.
