Ouch! Barack Obama snubs Tom Nelson

Tom Nelson is having a rough go of it. Barack Obama took a pass yesterday on endorsing Nelson when he endorsed 30 other House Democratic candidates. Obama’s snub of Nelson follows a poll showing Nelson trailing Mike Gallagher by double digits.

As reported in yesterday’s edition of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, “the race until recently had been considered a tossup by two prominent political analysis organizations, the Cook Political Report and The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report. Both groups now rate the race as leaning Republican.”

NRCC Comment: “Barack Obama snubbing Tom Nelson is the latest sign that the wheels have fallen off of Tom Nelson’s campaign for Congress. It’s clear the people of Northeast Wisconsin have rejected Tom Nelson and his record of raising taxes by billions of dollars and accepting a taxpayer-funded pay raise during the state’s economic crisis.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
