In this week's edition of The New Yorker, writer Jeffrey Goldberg talks about the battle within the Democratic Party over how to take advantage of the President's low approval ratings.
Goldberg spent time in Missouri reporting on the topic and he says Missouri Democrats are quietly worried about Hillary Clinton running for President.
"Missouri Democrats told me, over and over, that yes, they like Hillary Clinton, they think she's a good senator, they admire her personal qualities, but the last thing they want right now is for her to come to Missouri and campaign on behalf of their candidates," said Goldberg.
"Missouri is a state that could go for a Democrat in a national election, but what they were saying to me is, We hope that the Party understands that nominating Hillary Clinton means that you take Missouri out of play, and when Missouri is out of play, thirty other states are out of play."
Don't expect Hillary to come out and campaign for Claire McCaskill. But do expect her to possibly quietly raise some cash for her.
