NY Mag: A Palin endorsement 'means more' than an Obama endorsement

*
We posted this morning that an endorsement from Sarah Palin is valued; one from President Obama, not so much. Even a New York Magazine assistant editor agrees. Dan Amira wrote in the liberal periodical's Daily Intel column today:
Bad news for President Obama in a new Quinnipiac poll out this morning. Not only does his presidency get its lowest numbers in the poll to date, but... it seems that Obama's endorsement would taint his fellow Democrats running for office more than help them. Only 12 percent of voters say that Obama campaigning for a candidate makes them more likely to vote for that candidate... Even Sarah Palin... wields more influence: 16 percent of voters... say that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate for whom Palin campaigns.
Since no one on his team apparently has the cojones to do it, Obama needs someone from the old Bill Clinton campaign war room to plaster the White House walls with signs which read, "It's the socialism, stupid."
