Coincidence? The Chicago Way, Obama Now Selling Judgeships for Health Care Votes (Scott M. Matheson, Jr.)
It’s the Chicago way … quid pro quo … selling influence and political appointments for votes … this seems way to much of a coincidence. Was this the hope and change that you were looking for America?
Wasn’t there a big deal made when Illinois Governor Blago tried to sell Obama’s former Senate seat? Wasn’t he impeached? Now we are presented from the Weekly Standard that the following looks an awful lot like the same, an appointment for a health care vote … the timing is a bit suspect.
Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

RUT-ROH, more headaches for Democrats is Washington.
It’s a he said, he said situation for Democrat Representative Eric Massa. It was reported that Massa is retiring due to sexual harassment allegations made by a male staffer. According to the Politico, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) confirmed that they knew about the allegations prior to the story going public.
But several House aides told POLITICO that the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that the New York Democrat, who is married with two children, made unwanted advances toward a junior male staffer.
A more senior staffer — Ronald Hikel, Massa’s former deputy chief of staff and legislative director — took the complaints to the ethics committee and was interviewed about them twice.
Hikel declined to comment about the situation, but House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) confirmed that the Democratic leadership had been informed of the allegations before the news broke.
US Representative Eric Massa (D-NY) has denied that he’s retiring from Congress amid allegations that he sexually harassed a Congressional aide.

Senate Democrats in Trouble in NY Too … Dem Kirsten Gillibrand in Dead Heat with former Governor George Pataki
Could Democrats lose the Senate seat by Kirsten Gillibrand as well in 2010?
According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand is in a dead heat with for NY Republican governor George Pataki. Gillibrand leads Pataki 44% to 42%; however, once again an incumbent Donkey is polling below the 50% line which is a read flag for any candidate seeking reelection.
Candidates for New York’s U.S. Senate seat come and go, but the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand still in a virtual dead heat with former Governor George Pataki.
Gillibrand now holds a statistically insignificant 44% to 42% lead over Pataki. Just four percent (4%) would vote for some other candidate, while nine percent (9%) are undecided.
However, the former New York governor has not yet announced that he is running for US Senate. For the love of God George, Republicans have a chance of winning back the Senate and a pick up in NY or CA could be the wild card that gets the Republican party over the top.
A recent round up of the Senate races has Republicans potentially at this point picking up 9 seats … could there be a 10th?
