So Reid must be having problems raising funds, and this is a way to get them to pony up protection money. I know he is not up for reelection until 2016, so who is he trying to help?
Himself
I would bet his union thug base is pretty pissed about Obamacare, and will not be GOTV by intimidating, err, I mean campaigning for him and and stealing the election like last time...He almost lost to a nobody...
He will need that moderate democrat voter, soccer mom, working stiff dad, illegal, err, I mean immigrant hotel worker...
Watch Harry become a moderate...
...which he can easily do when he will be losing the Senate majority seat...
