Who would YOU trust more to deliver a vote?

Poll question: Who would YOU trust more to deliver a vote?

President Obama may soon be in a position to have a 60 vote filibuster proof Senate.

The Republicans have gone after him with everything, threatening that he should not re-stand, that they will not raise money for him if he does, so now according to HuffPo he ups the anti.

GOP stop playing games or he quits. Giving 60 votes to Harry.

Now that kind of talk should send Democratic big wigs to Senator Gunning. If he carries out his action, maybe no one will run against him in2010, or he could be given a Committee or both. Of course GOP big wiggers will be running in his direction, but their approach seems to be he is down so kick him.

So that leaves the Democratic Senators in an introducing position. They could have two independent Senators to deal with for their 60 votes, and of course the so called "moderate" Democrats, who were behind many more of tge cuts to the stimulus bill than the Republicans.

So should the Party Whips go after Bunning and offer him a deal, and if he does "cross the floor" would he be more reliable than Lieberman or the so called "moderates".?

1. Sorry Senator Gunning

Looks like you will have to quit as no one wants you to cross the floor.

Uhhhh... there's two Independent senators NOW. Bernie Sanders and Holy Joe. And Sanders' seat was previously occupied by Jim Jeffords, an ex-Repub who wasn't comfortable with the neocon extremism.

Sanders is a more reliable vote than Lieberdouche in some cases. I doubt you could say that about Bunning. And would the "theoretical 60" magically give Harry Reid a spine? I doubt it, but I can't possibly think of any other "logic" to explain this idea of drafting Bunning. Wouldn't Olympia Snowe be a better prospect?

3. According to HuffPo

Bunning is about to quit, so it may be better to help him jump and not quit.

As to whether that would give Reid a spine is a different mattter. Even with 100 Senators Reid would always compromise.
