If they report on this election, they also have to report on the reason things are going the republican's way... ie, that Obama is a failure in the eyes of the public and his approval rate is in the toilet. They would also have to report on how so many Democrats have distanced themselves from Obama and in many cases tossed him right under the bus. The last thing the liberal main stream media wants to do is report on the failure of a man they viewed as the American Messiah.
Running from an unpopular president is not unusual. In 2006 quite a lot of Republican candidates distance themselves from President Bush. Little good did it do them. Bush was down to 37% compared to Obama's 41% today. The Republicans lost 6 senate seats and 33 house seats that year. The prognosticators are predicting a loss of 4-8 seats for the Democrats. It would be more if Kansas hadn't raised it ugly head and Rounds in South Dakota hadn't become involved in a scandal.
But yes, it is always amusing to see a candidate dance around.
