One thing about Obama that most people don't mention

He has coattails and when he is on the ballot we win bigger than we would usually. Does anyone think the same can be said of Hillary? Does anyone see her helping us win back the senate?

In 1996 Dems actully lost ground In Senate while we picked up 9 house seats.

People need to accept when Obama was on ballet he actuly helped dems more than Bill CLinton did.
