    Joe, where do you get these crazy stories from. What a bizzaro idea. Everyone knows that butter wouldn't melt in Harry's mouth. No, he, or his people, would never be part of a sleezy deal. Crawl back into that far-right cave with the rest of the bats.

    No sneaky trick to get past the filibuster in the Senate, though. Reconciliation it's likely gonna be.

    Sounds like typical political shananigans to me. Doesn't really offend or bother me.

    The first rule of politics is to get elected. The second rule of politics is to get re-elected.

    The Democrats could never pull off something so Machiavellian, he can't even run the Senate and you think he, or his campaign, are capable of this?!

    Maybe if Senator Reid hired Karl Rove to run his campaign… ;)

    If the GOP had strong candidates people actually liked, then they wouldn't need to worry about who ran against them.

    It's happened many many times before. They do it on the local level rampantly. Run a shill to siphon votes, while the party hardcore vote for their slate.

    Judging from this clown's past, he could very well be a DNC plant.
