Reid, Obama, Clinton, telco immunity and Super Tuesday

Did anybody ever stop to wonder if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn’t deliberately putting the telco vote on Super Tuesday for more reasons than have been listed so far?

First, maybe he’s trying to have two anti-immunity votes kept out of town, if he’s that pro-immunity, and the two presidential candidates are really that anti-immunity.

Second, perhaps he’s trying to give both of them an “out” for the general election by making sure they’re unavailable to vote. The winner of the nomination can claim to have been against immunity, and so stroke progressives, while still taking telco campaign money.

Think about it.
