Reids' "stunt" just gave cover to all Senators who want an easy out |

on their votes for the war.
We should keep track of those Senators smart enough to come out now stating they were mislead or wrong. At least they'll see the light while there's still a chance to support the troops and bring them home safely.

4. I picked up on that, too. |

That's another reason why Reid's move is so shrewd. If you listen to his press conference you'll hear him frame the issue to allow an open door for anybody who wants to change their position without losing face.
I predict that we're going to hear more Congress Critters expousing "I was fooled".

5. Yep, and he set a trap at the same time |

Frist fell right into it.
Best thing that could happen for the Dems would be if Frist were the REpublican nominee in '08.
