The president will travel to the state sometime next month, according to the White House. He will headline an event for the Democratic National Committee. No word on where the fundraiser will be.
Obama came to Connecticut last October, when he attended a fundraiser for Sen. Chris Dodd.
It turned out no amount of presidential help could pull the save the politically ailing Dodd and he called off his reelection bid three months later.
Dodd's replacement on the ticket, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, has said he would welcome a visit from Obama. However, when asked, he quickly pointed out his independence from the White House, citing several issues (notably TARP and the stimulus) in which he disagreed with Obama's approach.
Of course, nothing brings in bucks like a visit from POTUS and Blumenthal is facing super-rich self-funder Linda McMahon (though the main beneficiary of the fundraiser may be the DNC, and not Blumenthal specifically.)
Obama could also be coming to help shore up support for Democrats in the state's Congressional delegation.
