"It’s also the only high-profile race where Obama can be safely sent without fear of his presence causing the Democrat to lose."

a bit LOL.... I was thinking this too -- surely Obozo would be in some place more "important" to the country (no offense, Delaware-ans) if his presence could make any positive difference.....

The Obamanation team had to pick a place that (1) was not a sure loser, and (2) where Obozo's presence might be regarded as a benefit to the ticket. That narrowed the options severely....
