Every candidate out there right now should be courting not only Obama supporters, but every old member of his staff, every email they can steal, and Obama himself. I can see how some might think too far into it and make a mistake. The mistake would be to not court his supporters, staff, and even him at every turn, and trying to stand next to him as often as possible.
