It was reported on Brit Humes show tonight that Harry Reid has been going around Frist and talking to the WH aides directly trying to cut a deal.

Apparently the Dims are trying to get the WH to cancel some of the nominees the Dims have strongest objections to (ie the real conservatives) in exchange for the Dims allowing certain others they have less objections to be voted thru.

That report stated the WH keeps referring them back to Frist. And I'd better stop my comments at this point.

Sounds like the RATS are getting worried about the "Constitutional" Option.

The White House is being smart in not negotiating with Reid. If they did so, they would be painted as undercutting their own people.

Regardless of how weak Frist is, it is better to make Reid deal with him rather than the White House cutting him off.
