I expect Harry Reid will do his best to ruin it, but it's a start.

2. The jury's still out far as I'm concerned |
|
I still don't know what kind of deal they made with him. From what I've heard so far it doesn't seem like he gave up a damn thing. Still talking smack about voting against EFCA, bragging about his "independence" and so forth. Then I hear that he has been promised some committee chairmanship. And Obama's support in a Dem primary next year against some good loyal Dems.
So up to this point I'd have to say it sounds like a bad thing to me. But if they twisted his arm to get a yes vote on health care from him this year then it may turn out to be a good deal. And if he reneges they can always leave him twisting in the wind in the 2010 primary.

3. Both. It depends on the circumstances at the time. |
|
But probably no different then the so called Democrats like Bayh.
