BOSTON – The White House says President Barack Obama has no plans to visit Massachusetts to campaign for the Democrat seeking the Senate seat held by the late Edward Kennedy.

Spokesman Robert Gibbs was asked Monday about the possibility of a presidential trip on behalf of state Attorney General Martha Coakley.

She would maintain the 60th vote Democrats need to prevent a filibuster of Obama's top domestic priority — a health care overhaul.

She is running against Republican Scott Brown and independent Joseph L. Kennedy. The independent is no relation to the late senator.

Tank you, but No tank you.

He saw no matter how many times he showed up in NJ and VA, his candidates still got blistered. I wish he would show up in MA.

He doesn't want to risk being tagged with a loss in MA of all states?

DONATE TO SCOTT BROWN

[Signalman]

Has Bubba campaigned for Coke-ly? That would guarantee a wing for Brown.

[Signalman]

wing=win.

Too cold for a round or two of golf in Mass?

[NormsRevenge]

His karma bodes ill for the Dems.

Lovin’ it!

[twigs]

Has Coakley dissed Obama in any way? Or is he dissing the Kennedy family / wing of the Dem party and signaling it in this way?

[a fool in paradise]

He doesn’t care how much money was paid to select Ted Kennedy’s replacement. < /culture of corruption >

[Dem Guard]

If Obama came in the voters would forget who is running, I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME
Thank you!

Damn, you know you’re a no one when you can’t influence MA elections as an elected Dem pres ent. I am almost feeling sorry for that clean, well spoken negro from Kenya.

Maybe a round at Cape Cod National...nahhhh too cold even there...even WITH the global warming...

I asked this in another thread and got no response: when is the election?

Please excuse the ignorance.

"Obama absent from campaign for Kennedy's seat (I wonder why?)"

Maybe ACORN and SEIU are already there, and the fix is in...so why go out in all this nasty climate change weather?

[Cicero]

Why don’t they send Joe Biden to campaign for her?

Election day is January 19th according to everything I’ve seen.
