Long ago, Congressman Joe Sestak said that he was offered a high ranking position in the Obama administration if he’d step aside rather than challenging Sen. Specter in the Dem primary.
Of course, Obama folks denied the claim.
Issue would have faded … but Sestak screwed things up by staying in the race and winning.
Why is that a problem?
Well, it gives the GOP a ‘”can’t lose” issue.
I see only 3 options:
(1) Obama folks continue playing rope-a-dope and the issue stays alive … seeming sinister and begging the question what are they hiding ?
(2) Obama folks “prove” that Sestak is fabricating the story … and, who wants to elect a Senator who gets caught lying from the get-go?
(3) Sestak names names and gives details of the offer … which causes legal problems for the administration. Why ? It’s reported to be a Federal felony to tamper with an election – and to bribe somebody to drop out of an election is, well, tampering.
I expect option(1) to prevail. so if the GOP wins a majority of either the Senate or Congress in Nov., expect investigative hearings on this issue to be high on the agenda.
Hope so – they’ll be fun to watch and might keep our elected reps distracted from their spending bills.
