Senate Democrats...No argument from me on this one.<br /><br />Senate Democrats could only do so much (removing Sen. Smith from their Caucus and taking away his committee assignments): The rest is all up to Senate Republicans to actually expel Smith. Which they won't do so long as Smith remains a useful tool to provide the fig leaf of "bipartisanship."<br /><br />I suspect there's another reason Republicans want to keep Smith in office as long as possible -- so he can be their new "poster child for all things Detroit" when they start running ads and sending mailers to the GOP base next year.helzapoppnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05990355465664815986noreply@blogger.com
