He wasn't offered a position other than an unpaid advisory one. Of course that's according to bauer. Nothing new here than anything either party has done in other cases

'How much greater the sin when someone else commits it'

Now, I saw that on a church sign-but it certainly fits with politics. The righties and lefties raise hell about their opponenets on every issue or scandal-regardless of how small the supposed oCcurence may be. But just as quick to defend their own, while mentioning a 'you did it too' moment. And we wonder why the system is broken.
Insanity is described as doing the smae thing over and over and expecting a different result. Sounds like govt and politics to me!

Not much to "get away" with. You offer someone an unpaid advisor position so they won't run against your candidate. Big whoop. Illegal? Heck no.

I think there's a better chance of Sarah Palin's 14-foot "keep me in the news I'm a victim" fence was built out of code and is illegal <vbg>

Let me ask you a question. If you had aspirations to be a US Senator (and had a pretty good chance to get elected) would an unpaid, advisory position have the least bit of interest to you? It is hardly a reach to say that this unpaid, advisory position story is the complete fabrication. While I understand that politics is a dirty business, remember this was the administration that was not going to play by the usual Washington rules. Yeah now we know that was a complete fabrication...

i agree completely with that. washington is still very much a 'scratch my back, i'll scratch yours' town-obama said that would change, it hasn't. claimed he'd have an ethical admin, that isn't true either. bauer compared these actions regarding sestak to past admins efforts-business as usual.

my point continues to be if it was 'an unpaid advisory position' offered the question of what job was offered posed to both sides would have been answered long ago and it would be done. If this administration takes this long to determine the answer to an easy question like 'what job was offered?' imagine what it would take for a complex problem say N. Korea bombing Obama's birthplace..
