He needs to stay out on the campaign trail and energize the crowds. Let the surrogates go on the talk shows.

I already see Gregory making the entire discussion about Benghazi, lack of next term agenda, etc etc etc.

Last thing Obama needs is a negative media headline the Monday before election day.

He should stick to the radio shows, local news outlets and campaign stops. Wouldn't hurt to do a few webinars with college campuses.

about getting people to the polls. Whatever he can add through the sunday shows probably wont match a huge rally in Wisky or Ohio. I mean, the people who even know what a "sunday show" is are already politicos and have made up their minds.


It wouldnt hurt, but boots on the ground is I think a better strategy.
