Did the WH come out for Owens? If so, major fail. If not, then they will blame Owens for not coming to them for help.
The dems are going to be wee-wee'd up about this one.
So, what is the reaction from the Whitehouse if the Dems take a beating, which looks like a possibility, on Tuesday?
This whole scenario was a WH plan. Take away the Rep to run the Army and back fill with a Dem - until Hoffman went rouge.
Obama hosted a $30,000 per couple fundraiser for Owens in Manahattan about 10 - 12 days ago where he fully endorsed the Dem candidate. Also, the AP, at WH urging, wrote a piece two weeks ago saying that the true test of “Obama’s coattails” will be NY-23. The WH set themselves up on this one, and tomorrow night is going to be one gloomy evening at 1600, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the NYT newsroom, the WashPo newsroom, etc..... Ha, ha!
