When a High-Profile Endorsement Is Low-Profile

Very late in the race, Obama is finally advertising his support for congressional candidate Scott Murphy. The election takes place tomorrow. However the DNC only spent 10,000 on the advertisement so it is unlikely that it will reach many viewers. In the election, which has been looked at as referendum to the early stages of the Obama administration, Democrats have downplayed Obama’s support in order to avoid blame and criticism in the event of a lose. So far in the election Republicans have pumped $1.6 million into the campaign comparing to $953,000 from democrats.
