Reid will use every tool in the box to prevent those 23 democrat Senators, who are up for election in 2012, from having to vote on Obamas' "Jobs Plan".

This shows how DESPERATE the Senate democrats are and it shows how weak Obama is.

This tells us Democrats in the Senate will run AWAY from Obama in 2012, without doubt. And, that Obama is a lame duck and they know it.

At this point is every man for himself in the dim party. Their only hope to to save some down-ticket races.

I believe you summed it up perfectly, Reid might be dingy but he’s not politically dumb.

He sees the handwriting on the wall and knows ‘The Won’ is going down and he’ll do everything he can to salvage what he can for the Rats.
