Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, is ratcheting up his anti-White House rhetoric, seeking to put more distance between himself and President Obama’s high disapproval rating in his state.
“I think people are disappointed with the president and frustrated,” Begich said in a Politico report published Sunday.
“I’m making sure people understand that if you are mad at Obama, he will be gone in two. If you care about Alaska, I’m here for six. When I tell people that, I remind them, they get it,” he added.
Begich is scrambling to fend of his Republican challenger, former Attorney General Dan Sullivan.
Sullivan currently leads Begich in the polls 47 percent to 42.6 percent, according to the RealClearPolitics weighted average.
Like President Obama, Begich has struggled to win over women voters in Alaska, acknowledging recently that his campaign needs to find a way to clear this “hurdle.”
And like vulnerable incumbent Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., Begich has also resorted to invoking the so-called “war on women,” regularly accusing his Republican opponents of being anti-woman.
Obviously, this is a charge that the Sullivan campaign rejects.
“Mark Begich continues to run the same tired ‘war on women’ campaign straight out of Harry Reid’s playbook, but he can’t run from his failed record in Washington, D.C.,” Sullivan spokesman Thomas Reiker said.
The Alaska senator joins several Democratic lawmakers who have made it a point during this election cycle to disassociate themselves from the White House brand, assuring voters that they’re nothing like President Obama.

Alaska can be rid of this Dem Senator in two months, no need to wait two years to get some satisfaction.
Some are stupid, all are evil, seeking power over their fellow human “for their own good”.
Evil never goes away.
Actually, he won’t. The stench of his administration will be around for a very long time.
The dog may be gone, but the **** he leaves behind will still be there.
Et tu, Begich?
LOL. But if you’re elected you’ll be there for 6 years, doing just what Obama would be doing if not worse!
“if you are mad at Obama, he will be gone in two”
The Democrat’s next candidate will be at least as bad. Their agenda of destruction will continue.
97% of the time.
Begich is a LYING sack of ****. He votes with Obama 97% of the time. They are one and the same.
Wow. What a racist.
Seriously, How does “Obama Sucks, vote for me!” work? Then again he is talking to moronic democraps.
begich is from a family of sleazy democrats. After Alaska voters rid themselves of this turd they need to get rid of that murkowski woman who is from a family of sleazy rino’s.
That's about 5-1/2 years too late, DOOFUS!!!
Yeah, but these idiot Congressmen stay for life.
LOL indeed.
All parties have dumped **22 million** dollars ($22,000,000) into a market with 509,000 voters.
Not counting the $15 million dropped in the Primary....
A local TV station just finished a new studio and one of the talk radio stations got all new studio equipment - polytics is great for business.....
“I think people are disappointed with the president and frustrated,”
This is how they will try to spin it...
The problem isn’t just the president, he just happened to be there when we saw a glimpse of how ALL progressives/liberals/democrats/RINOs want to run this country.
No to all you!!!
I could not agree with you more. Unfortunately murky is running ads supporting Dan Sullivan (begich republican opponent) and he is going to have some payback when she runs again. She is going to be very hard to unseat. She has the unions, the Alaska Republican party ( comprised of hard care RINO’s) and the village entitlement block voters at her 6.
