Post examples of Obama's coattails in this election |
|
Here are a few:
Wisconsin--Dems picked up the State Assembly for the first time in several years and gained ground in the State Senate.
North Carolina--Obama brought out a huge black turnout which certainly helped elect Hagen and the Gov candidate in the state.
Georgia--Again without the strong black turnout Chambliss almost certainly would have won over 50% but he didn't and so there will be a run-off next month.
Oregon--Obama certainly helped bring in the new Dem Senator in this state.
Minnesota--Look at how close it is. Franken may yet win this on a recount, and if so, Obama deserves a lot of the credit for making it as close as it was.
Finally how can anybody claim that a party which (so far)won six senate seats and over 20 House seats and ground in the state legislatures claim that it's presidential candidate had nothing to do with it.
If you have other examples of Obama helping elect democrats please post them here.
