And as the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee--charged with holding and expanding the party’s Senate majority--he has to represent Senate candidates whose races might be affected by the top of the party ticket.
He was walking a fine line when I visited him in his Senate hideaway office on Wednesday. He has endorsed Clinton, as a home state colleague must, but has also seen Obama score eye popping victories in recent days. Some Democrats in “red” states prefer Obama atop the ticket.
