Scott Brown should invite Barack Obama to Boston to campaign for Brown’s rival, Martha “Hammer” Coakley. Why? As a general rule — at least since Obama’s inauguration in January 2009 — when the big “O” touches down with Air Force One and/or his presidential entourage, his cause or candidate loses.
Obama’s Chicago Olympics sales job was stuffed (apologies to my Aussie friends) in Copenhagen, last October. A month later, Obama campaigned in person and revved up his campaign operation, Organising for Amerika, in Virginia (for Creigh Deeds) and New Jersey (for Jon Corzine). Both candidates lost convincingly.
One month after that, in December, Obama jetted off to Copenhagen where the much hyped climate change conclave disintegrated without an agreement despite (because of?) Obama’s involvement. If I’m Scott Brown, I’m thinking, “Why not fund an Obama-Coakley event?” Maybe in Copenhagen?

I love the thought that Obama is a “cooler”.
