On Monday, we wrote that Obama should head to Massachusetts. But, on Monday, Robert Gibbs said it wasn't on the President's schedule. It is now. The President found some time to go to Massachusetts:
President Obama plans to visit the state Sunday to campaign for Senate candidate Martha Coakley, according to two senior Democratic officials.This should help. The teabagger types are already riled up. We need our voters to feel it. And, there will be plenty of time to play the blame game if Coakley loses (although we're hearing that some of the White House brain trust have been assigning blame already, as if they're immune from any of the current feelings of ill-will in the electorate.)
A third Democratic source said that the event with Obama would likely be held in the Boston area, either in the city itself, or in one of two communities where Coakley is scheduled to campaign, Quincy and Framingham.
