"Rep. Robert Brady (D-PA), Chariman of the Philadelphia Democratic Party, was on MSNBC with Andrea Mitchell this morning. He was explaining how the Philadelphia machine was working to ensure Joe Sestak’s victory in the closely watched Senate race in Pennsylvania. Ms Mitchell asked, “What is the secret here to turn out? In the old days, the old machine days, what we called ‘walking around money,’ handing out money to get people to vote. Is it still the case? What do you do, what is the magic in Philadelphia?”

Rep. Brady (who looks and sounds like he came right out of central casting for the part of shady, party boss) shockingly acknowledged that the cash-on-the-streets strategy is not an antiquity but still part of the Democratic Machine’s playbook in 2010: “We still have the street money and we’re very knowledgeable,” he said....."

Yeah, is anyone really surprised by this? Sad comment on the democratic machine. That he admits they have to pay people to drag people off the streets to the polls to get their person elected is beyond scary. Illegal maybe not. Unethical definitely.

Reminds me of Katie Couric stumbling all over Bidden when he said Roosevelt used TV when the WWll broke out. She dodged and swerved all over the place to change the subject to cover for his gaff. Journalists are in the tank for the Dems. Just watch and see. That is all we need to do---watch and see. Geesh.

So true. They try to cover all the liberals who place foot firmly in mouth but revel in any republican who does. Why can't the general public see this?
