Did Obama's immigration punt backfire?

The biggest Election Day question haunting the White House is this: did President Obama blow it by bowing to Southern senate Democrats and delaying action on effectively legalizing millions of undocumented workers?

Mr. Obama promised to use executive authority before the election to defer deportation of untold millions of undocumented laborers with no felony convictions and a long record of residency. The administration never said how many would qualify but estimates ranged from three million to nine million.

Under pressure from Sens. David Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Kay Hagan of North Carolina, who all preemptively opposed the president's use of executive authority, Mr. Obama decided to delay action until after the election on a flight back to Washington from the NATO summit in Wales.

After Mr. Obama delayed, Democratic Sens. Kay Hagan, of North Carolina and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire broke with the White House and backed Pryor and Landrieu on a symbolic amendment to derail any Obama moves on immigration. These Democrats all hoped to nullify immigration by publicly opposing Obama. But the issue has persisted and Pryor, Landrieu and Shaheen have struggled to credibly distance themselves from Obama--beyond asking him to stay away from their campaign rallies.

MIDTERMS 2014: Obama emerges to make 11th-hour pitches for Democrats

President Obama, after being kept off the campaign trail and relegated to fundraising duty for most of the campaign season, at last emerged on Election Day to tout Democratic candidates in several tight races.

The president recorded at least two radio ads for fellow Democrats -- including one for North Carolina incumbent Sen. Kay Hagan. The senator is one of several who have distanced themselves from Obama this campaign season.

Just stand with me and take responsibility of moving North Carolina forward by voting for Kay Hagan on November 4, Obama says in the ad, paid for by the Hagan campaign.

Republicans immediately pounced on the ad. After desperately attempting to run away from her record of rubber-stamping President Obama 96 percent of the time, Kay Hagan is ending her campaign by featuring Obamas endorsement of her liberal partisanship and lack of independence, the campaign for Republican Thom Tillis, who is in a close race with Hagan, said in a statement.

Republicans did the same after Obama cut a radio spot for Democrat Charlie Crist, who is trying to unseat Florida GOP Gov. Rick Scott.

After months of waiting, President Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail for Charlie Crist, the Scott campaign said Tuesday.

The pro-Crist ad actually has been playing since Monday, according to The Miami Herald. We already know Barack Obamas policies are on the ballot in this election because he told us that himself. But, his new ad for Charlie Crist today means Charlie Crist wants you to know that too, the Scott campaign also said.

Obama, whose approval rating is at about 42 percent, largely has stayed off the campaign trail, save for his de facto role as chief party fundraiser. However, he made stops this past weekend in Connecticut for Gov. Dan Malloy and in Pennsylvania for gubernatorial challenger Tom Wolf, both Democrats.
