Let me see if I understand this. The argument put forth by the ConservaDems is that they are afraid to vote on a bill which would extend the 2001 tax cuts for the middle class while letting the tax cuts for the wealthy expire (according to the schedule designed by the Republicans) because they are afraid Republicans will then run ads attacking them for voting for a tax increase.

I don't understand this. I'll give it another try.

I put this in the comments of Mr. Coons' Diary, but he had just signed off and I don't think he had a chance to see it. I think this really backfired in Mass. where Coakley and the Dems constantly called it "Ted Kennedy's seat". The Dems who have no qualms with VP Biden will be voting for Mr. Coons whether he calls it Biden's seat or not, but some independents and any moderate Repubs will surely take offense at the notion that the seat belongs to anyone other than the people of Delaware.
