President Barack Obama will travel to Massachusetts to campaign for embattled Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley before Tuesday’s special election, the White House confirmed today.
“I think the president believes he will be helpful and is happy to accept the invitation,” spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters.
Former President Bill Clinton is campaigning for Coakley today in Massachusetts. The race has become intensely competitive as GOP state Sen. Scott Brown has surged in the polls.
The closeness of this race -– it has been rated a toss-up by veteran political analysts — is causing intense worry in Democratic ranks.
