Robin is Too Busy Meeting Federal Regulators
[ Patrick Tuohey ]According to CNN's political ticker, Missouri Secretary of State and US Senate candidate Robin Carnahan won't be in Missouri when the President is here raising money for Sen McCaskill's 2012 campaign.
The Carnahan campaign says their candidate will not able to team up with Obama while he's in her home state because she'll be in Washington, attending to official state business as part of her job as Missouri's secretary of state. The campaign says Carnahan's agenda includes meeting with financial regulators and policymakers to demand tough federal action to regulate Wall Street and protect consumers.
Let's pretend that Carnahan was not running for Senate. Where would you want your Secretary of State to be to best "demand tough federal action to regulate Wall Street and protect consumers?" Meeting with bureaucrats, or meeting with their boss, the president, when he came to your state?
Why would the President be in Missouri raising money for a race that is three years away when there is a chance to help out a viable candidate who has been trailing in fundraising?
Has Robin's campaign decided that Obama is a liability?
Has Obama decided that Carnahan cannot win?
