Not saying it goes all the way to the Pres. But it is hard to believe the Rom, or any one else would take, on their own authority, such an offer.
Sestak is NOT the only one who this White House has made such an offer regarding.
Lets wait and see where the evidence leads.
The truth is simple; its fabrication that is complex and time-consuming.
This comes from DEMOCRATS; not Rrs. Sestak was not making partisan rhetoric when he admitted to being offered a position. It even laid quietly for a few months before the recent noise about it.

Bribery my ass. The D hierarchy decided that Sestak was not ready and offered him a spot that could increase his readiness, over time, and would salve his ego at the thought of having to put his ambition on hold. Sestak was an idiot to bring it up and no doubt will regret it if he doesn't already. He thought he could show how strong and independent he was.
It's much ado about nothing. But it is certainly a legitimate thing in the Rr playback. Cover yourselves in glory, ya'all.
Sestak does nothing for me. I saw video of him thanking supporters after he won as a backdrop to some discussion on the telly and I kept thinking of Sally Fields saying, "you really do love me!!" Just embarrassing. Rrs are making a big deal out of this mostly in hopes of him losing the general, that along with directing a fire hose of slime on BHO.
