...but these are not normal times.
Anthony TheWeiner was a stalwart warrior of the Left, and of all things Obama. His (polite cough) very public downfall would not normally deter a President like Obama from sending in his operatives, and making a last-minute public appearance on behalf of the Democrat standing for election.
It's like...well...they're pretending this by-election isn't taking place today. And Welprin, the Democrat candidate, is pretending Obama doesn't exist. Like the last thing he'd want is a visit from The Beloved Leader on the eve of the election. Not normal times.
Obama was in Ohio, getting a crowd of high-school students and teachers to chant 'Pass this bill! Pass this bill!' Only MSNBC, all-Obama-all-the-time, even bothered to carry the event live. CNN was discussing fashion trends. This morning, his staff was blustering 'It's all or nothing!', and by the afternoon the view was, 'Well, if they want to pass it piecemeal, he'll sign the portions they send his way.'
Not normal times, not at all. NY 09 may well fall into GOP hands tonight. OS will be interested to see if the White House even makes mention of the occurrence in the morning.
