He was supposed to be, sure. In effect, all he did was pressure Congress to water down legislation to make it more attractive to people who didn't vote for it anyway.

Then again, he may turn out to be a great one to take the hit for the Sestak deal once he is gone. He can then say he did on his own or some such...
The hit? There's no hit to take.

Really? I didn't see it that way. WE can only assume he tried to do the politically correct thing in getting the machine to move in the right direction. Why he was or wasn't he was successful is an issue that the Administration needs to look into. Currently it appears as though there are more reasons. Perhaps its the lipstick and the pig analogy <shrug>
