Congressional hopeful tries to tie his would-be opponent to Obama

The delicious hilarity of this turn of events?  The Democrat is trying to tie the Republican to Obama!  Details:

Here’s a telling sign of how much President Obama’s fortunes have changed since 2008 — a leading Democratic Congressional recruit is now attacking a Republican congressman for supporting the president.

Former Ohio Democratic congressman Charlie Wilson, who was attacked relentlessly for being too close with President Obama in last year’s losing campaign, kicked off his comeback bid today by accusing his Republican rival of the same sin.

Wilson, who represented a rural, blue-collar district along the Ohio River, is seeking a rematch against freshman Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio.  In his successful 2010 campaign, Johnson effectively characterized Wilson as a lackey of national Democrats, blasting him for casting a critical vote for Obama’s health care law and the stimulus. …

How awesome is it that B.O. is so massively unpopular that Democrats are not only running from him faster than Barney Frank from a Hooters restaurant, but now they’re actually running on “Vote for me, because unlike my Republican opponent, I won’t be tied to Obama”?

Wilson, you voted for ObamaCare, in direct opposition to the wishes of your constituents.  You obviously thought they were too stupid to know what was good for them, so you voted for ObamaCare against their wishes.  Apparently, you still think they’re stupid, if you think this absurd trick will work.
