Bribe Senator Joe Manchin?

Atlantic magazine writer  Annie Lowrey doesn't even try to be very subtle about it. The headline of her story on Wednesday flat out makes it clear what she wants, "Give Joe Manchin Whatever He Wants." And if you can't figure out what she is getting at in the title, the subtitle goes into even more detail, "Why shouldn’t Democrats bring back earmarks and curry his favor with a few sky bridges and concert halls?"

Lowrey makes the case that Democrats should, essentially, bribe Manchin in order to make him more supportive of legislation being pushed by the party.

2 Dem. Senators are holding back the flood by supporting filibuster rule. I can't imagine the pressure they'll be under to relent.History is hanging in the balance here.
