Sen. Mark Begich: ‘I’m Not Really Interested’ in Having Obama Campaign for Me

Dem Senator: Not Interested In Obama Campaigning For Him (Washington Free Beacon)

Red-state Democrats that are in tough reelection fights are finding ways to put distance between themselves and President Obama following his State of the Union speech.

Sen. Mark Begich (D., Alaska) joined CNN after Obama’s speech and was asked if he would like the President to come campaign for him in Alaska.

“First I’ll tell you when I ran and won was the same year he ran for his first election for the presidency, he lost Alaska by 22 points and I still won my election. If he wants to come up, I’m not really interested in campaigning,” Begich responded.
