For Midterms, Democrats’ Dance Card is Delicate Mix
(Washington Post) — One thing is for sure this election year for many Democrats: They are not making it about President Obama. The man who was so popular two years ago is not in their stump speeches and certainly not in their ads. If he shows up in town, they happen to have a prior commitment. Some even boast of opposing him.
But there is one group for whom Democrats want to make it all about Obama: African Americans.
In the past week, party leaders launched a drive to stoke enthusiasm among black voters, dusting off the president’s 2008 campaign logo, lingo and grass-roots strategy to get them to the polls in November. The party has backed a $2 million ad buy targeted at urban newspapers and radio stations with a simple message: “Stand With President Obama. Vote November 2.”
