Under Fire for Oil Spill, Obama Hosting 3 Fundraisers for Sen. Barbara Boxer
Obama to Visit Bay Area to Bolster Boxer's Bid
SAN FRANCISCO (San Francisco Chronicle) - President Obama will land in the Bay Area today to raise money for U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer's re-election campaign as an anti-incumbent wave has Republicans in blue California convinced this is their best shot in years to oust their liberal nemesis.
The president's two-day trip, which includes a pitch Wednesday for green jobs, underscores the high stakes for Democrats, who want to avoid a big loss this year in California, which could be a blow to the party in the 2012 presidential election.
At the same time, Republicans are eyeing Boxer's seat as a foothold toward recovering a majority in the Senate.
