* President Barack Obama has cut a radio ad/robocall for Gov. Pat Quinn. Listen…

I’m told the radio spot will run in heavy rotation on black stations. The idea behind it is to push turnout. Transcript…

This is President Barack Obama calling on behalf of Pat Quinn. In all my experience, one lesson stands out: if you want change, you have to get involved. Today, across the country and here in Illinois our communities face serious threats. There’s a real push to force us back to the failed policies of the past. We can’t let them get away with it. We need to vote, and vote for Governor Pat Quinn.

I know Pat Quinn. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand his courage to take on powerful interests, his character to do what’s right, and his commonsense that’s getting our state moving again. He’s fighting to create jobs, strengthen our schools, and protect our neighborhoods.

On Election Day, I’ve voting for my friend, Pat Quinn, and I hope you’ll join me. We can’t afford to stay home - because the best thing you can do for me in the White House is to vote to keep Pat Quinn Governor. Thank you.

The President miss-spoke: It is failed policies of the present not the past.

The Obama radio spot for Quinn is like found money. GOPers would be wise to lay off Obama in statewide races. They’re going to get the anti-Obama voters, anyway. They don’t want to light a fire to boost turnout in areas where he is still very popular.
