Does this rise to the level of bribery?
No, I think the proper term here is “quid pro quo.” Of course, it is just as illegal as bribery.
Fellas, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Granted, my standard of political morality has never been high.
Can you imagine how the press would have spun it if it were republicans who had left the state to thwart democratic process?
It is for reasons of bias like that, Bookslinger, that I do not mourn the death of newspapers. They like to talk down to bloggers, but at least there the bias is more apparent.
