CBS Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes said the Democrats are distancing themselves from President Obama.
"Not only are they running away from President Obama, they're running away from being Democrats in some cases. In some races you actually see the Democratic candidates not really mentioning that they're a Democrat in their campaign ads," Cordes said.
That's certainly true in Florida. Governor candidate Alex Sink omits from her ads that she's a Democrat.
I actually like her more than the Republican candidate Rick Scott, who beat McCollum with a smear campaign, that Sink has also tapped into. But I'm hesitant to vote for her, for illegal immigration reasons, and because she would in all likelihood be another Democrat rubber stamp for Obama's agenda, despite whatever she says in her campaign ads.
