I am so sure about this I would bet hard earned cash on this. Any amount you would like if that is the case. The reason? Simple.....................coattails. If Obama were to go and campaign for Martin and Martin ends up losing, how will that look on Obama? It would slightly, at least for the short term, tarnish his appeal and if it doesn't tarnish his appeal it would look sort of embarrassing. Moreover, Obama is the President-Elect, aka the statesman, who is going to stay above the politics/fray and he doesn't want to change that image. So if anyone wants to take up my offer and if you disagree let me know. Your response will be interesting indeed.
