Coakley is holding and Obamathon

With her candidacy sinking faster than the Titanic, martha Coakley has managed to convince the folks at the white House that president obama should come to help her campaign in the final days before the Tuesday's election. To say the least, I am surprised that Obama would agree to do this. Coakley is in full melt down mode. the latest poll shows her now with just 39% of the vote, nearly a dozen points below her previous level. Indeed, the polls have been moving down for Martha so fast that it is unclear where her support level really is. Unless she stops the bleeding, she could lose in a landslide. However, even if she stops the bleeding, she still appears to be substantially behind. Turning that position around would require more than just a visit by Obama. In other words, Obama is lending his credibility to Coakley's victory push at a time when she is no longer likely to win. If she loses the election, it will be more proof that Obama has no ability to drag Democrats into office on the strength of his campaigning. As a result, Obama loses some power. Nice move Obamacrats!
