A longtime Western Pennsylvania politician once said, “You run with the top of the ticket when you can, and run away from it when you have to.” Which explains U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire’s short answer as to whether he will campaign in his district with Barack Obama: He’ll “consider it.” Altmire -– a previous skeptic of offshore drilling who now supports it, pitting him against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -– said it will depend on when the presumptive nominee comes to town and if their schedules mesh. “I am not going to avoid it,” he added.

He’ll “consider it.”

..a typical answer for ANY US Rep..it may refer to helping a voter, an important vote,an important Bill,anything to do with doing whats best for the US citizen ...whats really missing is the "WHATS IN IT FOR ME?

We can have them in people's mind for election day if we all work together and get them spread around on forums, through emails, and talk radio, and ask others to do the same.

With the war against the Islamic Jihadists continuing, and with progress being made despite the likes of Obama in the Senate, and with the situation developing with Iran, China, and Russia...people really need to see the comparisons and decide who they want to lead and face these threats.

Good article, Salena. I’ve pointed out a few times that the far left aura that surrounds Obama will keep many Dems away.
