Democratic candidates who run from President Obama in red states where he is unpopular are making a big mistake. Their holding Obama at arm's length deprives voters of a clear choice at the ballot box.
Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is a great candidate for the U.S. Senate and is running a solid campaign. But she made a mistake when she refused to answer the question from the Louisville Courier-Journal about which presidential candidate she voted for in 2012.
Grimes should have said she voted for President Obama and then gone on to explain her policy differences with him. By ducking the question, all she did was make news out of her refusal to give a routine answer to a routine question. If Grimes doesn't care for Obama or what he stands for or has accomplished, just say so.
Like most Democrats running this fall, Grimes cannot win the election without the support of the Democratic base, and the Democratic base expects her to vote for a Democratic president against his Republican opponent.
Having forthrightly identified herself as a Democrat, Grimes can go on to explain what kind of Democrat she is -- a Clinton Democrat, a moderate Democrat, a Kentucky Democrat, a Blue Dog Democrat, or simply a woman who has shown voters that she is wise and if elected, will work hard to put their interest first -- not simply try to score partisan points....

Hey ‘RATS! You better listen to Donna. She’s the smartest woman on the planet next to Slick Willie’s wife and Sandy Fluke.
Hillary will win...and it won’t even be close.
P.S. I’m not happy about it
This is Fat Donna saying, “It sure would be a shame if any of you Democrats who don’t suck up to 0bama were to have an accident.....”
The communist lesbian has spoken.
Her ilk will be dealt with
Times are changing
Ya know, I have not heard the name Harold Ickes for a long, long time. It worries me. Donna Brazile is pretty much up front and predictable in her open zeal for her cohorts. The Clintons use sneaky little weasel ba$tards to do their bidding.
I can already see where she’s going with this silliness. If the ‘RATS get their a$$e$ kicked, Brazile will be pimpin’ the idea that it was because they all ran away from her “messiah”. She’s setting that BS up right now.
What has Donna accomplished in her career that allows her to flap her lips on national TV?
Just as dangerous however.
That may be true...but what are her accomplishments? I know she is a link to the Black community, but she was also Gore’s campaign manager. A losing campaign.
If she gets on TV to give advice, it goes without saying that her strategy or advice should be sound. What is her track record?
Donna is black, yes. Her leanings have nothing to do with color unless it’s talking to that audience. Donna is pure body politic. She’s as welcome in democrat inner circles as she is republican. She feeds from both troughs. The meals are bigger and more plentiful that way.
With just a little luck the bitch will have serious health problems like a terminal stroke.
Grimes is a dolt. She’s toast.
There’s no such thing as “a Clinton Democrat, a moderate Democrat, a Kentucky Democrat, a Blue Dog Democrat”
All Democrats have voted with Obama 100% of the time on issues he deems important, which means that ALL Democrats are socialist fascists.
