(CBS) — The White House disputes a New York Times cover story Monday that President Obama’s political team is considering nationalizing the midterm elections, a strategy that political analysts say could resonate with certain demographics like the African-American community.
CBS News political consultant John Dickerson and Politics365.com’s Charles Ellison discussed the benefits of national and individual midterm races for the White House on Tuesday’s “Washington Unplugged.”
“What they would like to do is run a national campaign that’s a referendum on Obama, but only to certain voter groups,” Dickerson told CBS News’ Nancy Cordes. “It’s difficult in the media environment we live in now to narrow cast anything, but they’re trying to do that.”
