Meanwhile, in Kentucky and Arkansas, President Bill Clinton continues to relish his relative popularity and political usefulness compared to President Obama.

The political terrain is rough in these Senate battleground states. Obama’s signature domestic achievement, the Affordable Care Act, is unpopular. Obama himself has soft poll numbers. Many Democrats won’t appear with the president, even though they’ll accept his prodigious fundraising help.

Arkansas Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor is facing a serious challenge from GOP Rep. Tom Cotton. James Lee Witt, Clinton’s head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is running for Cotton’s House seat and will join Clinton at an event in Hot Springs, Ark., on April 5. And Pat Hays, a former North Little Rock mayor who supported Clinton’s 1992 campaign, is running for another congressional seat.
