re: #682 cliffster

I’m hearing a lot of what can only be perceived of tacit blaming of Sharron Angle for Reid’s comments. Why is that?

Because people who are rooting for Reid don’t want to come out and say he took his position out of political calculation. It seems clear to me he did that; He realized that by opposing Park 51 he could prevent Angle outflanking him to the right on that issue.
