COULD AN OBAMA EMBRACE BE THE KISS OF DEATH?



CAN WE HOPE THAT REPUBLICAN PARTY USES BARAK'S OWN WORDS AGAINST HIS CANDIDATES?
The Illinois primary elections are over and the two Senate candidates heading into the fall election are Republican Mark Kirk and Democrat Alexi Giannoulias. This election must be a lock for the Democrats in the President’s home State right?

Well maybe not? The Democrats may have made the political miscalculation of backing a candidate Giannoulias with banking scandal on his hands. His family owned bank was seized by Federal Regulators to the tune $394 million dollars.

Democrats are rightfully worried that this hot topic scandal coming at a time when Obama is on the campaign trail again talking about the need for financial reform and demonizing bankers and Wall Street.

Mark Kirk(R) for Senate and the Illinois Republican Party hopefully will drumbeat this Banking scandal by the Democratic nominee Giannoulias. This is a winning attack ad gift from the Democratic Party and the President with every statement he makes now and up to November about financial reform.

Even a novice campaign manager could easily create political ad spots and slogans that could give this Senate seat to the Republicans. Let us hope that the Kirk campaign uses this political liability to its full potential.

Rumors about the DNC looking for a replacement candidate have been circulated but so far no truth has been found. It would be a backroom trick to negate the Democratic Primary voter rights. Do they dare?

The President recently speaking in Quincy Illinois gave a “shout out” to and for Giannoulias even though the White House spokesperson said it would not be “appropriate”.

Florida’s ex-republican Charlie Crist experienced first- hand how an Obama embrace is the kiss of death.However,what is the effect of an Obama endorsement today in light of lost Democratic seats where he has campaigned? (Scott Brown)The hypocrisy of the Obama administration might well start to hit some Independent and Democratic voters come November. Might an Obama embrace also be the kiss of death for the Democratic Candidates as well?
