Obama to visit 4 states to boost incumbents, drum up Democratic votes
President Obama leaves Wednesday afternoon for a four-day swing through the West, where he will focus on shoring up his party's midterm election prospects in a set of important Senate races and helping a pair of gubernatorial candidates.
The trip - his longest of the midterm season - will take him through four western states and end in Minnesota, where he will raise money for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
That Obama is visiting several Western states that he won comfortably two years ago with less than two weeks in the midterm campaign season reflects the steep odds Democrats face in holding onto the House and Senate - and his own sharp reversal of political fortune.
