Carnahan Drops Prices For Obama Event

[bijou]

Pres. Obama is the best fundraiser the Dem Party has, but his drawing power is way down from its peak during the '08 campaign.

Obama is heading to MO and NV today to raise money for Sec/State Robin Carnahan (D), running for an open Senate seat, and Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid.

But Carnahan's campaign wasn't able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots event on Carnahan's behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.

The grassroots event at the 1,078-seat theater is expected to net $250K for Carnahan's campaign, the Kansas City Star reported today.  ...

Doc has already talked about Robin Carnahan versus Roy Blunt in another thread, but let me just state for those even remotely interested in Missouri politics that Carnahan is as moonbat as they come. She must be defeated.

I realize that both sides do it, but it kind of bugs me to have the President be a fundraiser for other politicians.  Theoretically, he should be the president of the entire country, regardless of politics, but our politics are so partisan that the President really just ends up representing half the country, which is really sad.

True, I have also seen total-Obama-thrall-and-minion Claire McCaskill blowing money on what a wonderful person she is herself, which is a bit surprising since she isn't up for re-election yet.  I'm wondering what the Hell that devious crooked witch is up to with the ads.

First class airfare, 5 star hotel, $100,000 in cash and I might consider attending.

Every man has his price they say. I'm having a weak moment and a fire sale....but ain't no way I'd been seen amongst that bunch for any less.

The only thing I can figure is that McCaskill has bought into the hopey-changey thing to the point that, regardless which way the political winds are blowing, she'll defend Zero and his policies to the bitter end. She's a team playah and she'll go down with the ship if necessary -- which I sincerely hope it will be. McCaskill has been the ultimate Dem voting on the party line for every significant vote there has been.

Blah Blah Blah

I'm so relieved you've been given a couple days off to think about your transgressions.

You're assuming the chewtoy was capable of thought in the first place.

I tend to be rather hopeful at times. It's a redeemingly quality I have on occasion.
