Democrats are turning to Bill and Hillary Clinton — and not President Obama — to save their majority in the Senate.
The Clintons have crisscrossed the country in recent weeks for Democratic candidates, and will each appear in key states this weekend where races could decide which party controls the upper chamber.
While Obama has been mostly sidelined — he’ll appear at a Michigan rally on Saturday where Democrats believe a Senate seat is safely in hand — the Clintons are traveling to red states where the president is not welcome. On Saturday, Hillary Clinton will appear alongside Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). She’ll then travel to Kentucky to appear alongside Senate candidate Allison Lundergan Grimes, who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY.)
Former Secretary of State Clinton will travel the next day to New Hampshire to appear at a get out the vote rally for Gov. Maggie Hassan and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton, his approval ratings still sky high, will stump in North Carolina for Sen. Kay Hagan (D) before heading back to his home state of Arkansas for one final rally for Sen. Mark Pryor (D).
Obama has been stuck mostly campaigning for Democratic governors around the country.
With his approval ratings in the low 40s, most Democratic House and Senate candidates have wanted him to stay away. In Kentucky, Grimes even refused to say whether she voted for Obama.
The flurry of visits by the Clintons comes with some responsibility.

Yeah, that’ll work..
She is simply good for nothing.
She has phoney written all over her face. This is getting as comical as the piubies running losers again
I saw a clip of Hillary’s speech stumping for Braley in Iowa. Pretty lame stuff.
The only race I could see affected by these appearances is Hagan in NC. That’s a whisker-close race, and Bubba can still turn on the politician’s charm and wow a crowd. It might swing a few thousand votes Hagan’s way.
Isn’t this rich? The War on Women crowd has to turn to the Clintons for help. Too laughable.
it’s pretty bad when people choose a semen stain over you.
They better put some ice on that.
Turning to the Clintons only shows the Democrat’s haven’t anything to offer beyond that which they have offered, and very few of we the people are buyin’ what they have offered.
Well hell,
Would you want the jug earred lying narcissist around either?maybe as a tackleing or crash dummy.
I'd let it fly.
What's the lying-rapist got that the lying-queer doesn't?
Oh so sadly I think we are going to get Jeb Bush as President. dems got their 8 years.
It’s obvious the Democrat party has returned to its racist roots. When the going gets tough, dump the black guy.
Freepers - surely we must have some record of Bill Clinton’s recent record for endorsements and actual campaign appearances? Remember Martha Coakley? Lots of others.
Bloomberg is writing how he is ‘riding to the rescue.’ But - as usual - they do not show any previous election where he has helped. Witness, HILLARY.
question! how many senate races are currently going on, 23ish? I know I should know but I don’t, so.......
How many ‘could’ we win, not just likely but surprises?
Considering that Bubba only has about a 40% endorsement record in the win column, Dems must figure that Kiss of Death is better than a sloppy wet one from Prince Obola
