Here is the reality world I live in.

In an election that Republicans want to make all about President Barack Obama, the White House is determined to make him all but disappear in the battleground states that matter.
The White House is putting the finishing touches on a post-Labor Day schedule that will send the president to states where he�s still popular, such as: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Illinois and California, Obama officials and Democratic operatives said this week.

But in the red states that will determine control of the Senate, Obama will remain scarce. That means no personal campaign visits to states like Arkansas, Alaska, Louisiana and North Carolina. He may do some targeted outreach through robocalls, digital ads and conference calls, but the campaign plan is clear: Stay away from candidates he�s already hurting.

Obama�s no-fly zone for certain Senate campaigns reflects the deep concern among Democrats about his drag on the national ticket. Obama can�t seem to get his poll numbers out of the low 40s, he�s struggled through an endless stream of foreign policy crises, and he�s the last person that many candidates want to be forced to defend on the campaign trail.

Six years ago, Obama�s massive campaign organization helped to sweep several Senate Democrats, now the most endangered, into office with his appeal to unite political factions.
Now, he�s an attack line.

Across the country, from Alaska and Colorado, to Louisiana and North Carolina, Republicans are citing how often the Democratic incumbent sided with the White House on votes in Congress. It�s a tactic Democrats used to great effect in 2006 when they wrestled back control of the Senate by linking every incumbent to President George W. Bush, who was even more unpopular than Obama.

�He�s going to be an anchor on each one of these Democrats all the way through,� said Guy Harrison, a media consultant for the Republican Senate nominees in Arkansas, Colorado and North Carolina. �They�re trying to grasp every life preserver they can, but the anchor of Obama is still going to pull them down.�
