Yesterday afternoon, President Obama called Rep. Steve Israel (D-New York) and "suggested" he not oppose Senator Kirstin Gillibrand (D- New York) in the upcoming Democratic primary. This is an unprecedented move by the occupant of the Oval Office and one that has created some unhappiness among influential Democrats on the Hill and stateside. I'd love to know why Obama made that call. Maybe he'll have more to say next Friday afternoon. Stay tuned.
