Virginia Democrat said to resign with promise of jobs from GOP | MSNBC

Republicans are said to be trading two job offers for one Democrat’s state Senate seat, the Washington Post reported, in perhaps the most bizarre twist yet in the state’s fight over Obamacare.

Virginia state Sen. Phillip Puckett will resign on Monday, giving Republicans at least temporary control of the state Senate just as Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, attempts to expand Medicaid in the state. Thanks to the deal, Puckett’s daughter will be appointed to a judgeship and Puckett will become the deputy director of the state tobacco commission, three people familiar with the plan told the Post.

And, in return, the article says he's gonna get a cushy job on the state's tobacco commission. Judge for yourselves by reading

It has nothing to do with the GOP. It's a case of Dems turning upon one another.
