On Tuesday, Harry Reid called Diane Feinstein‘s stand that Roland Burris should be seated in the Senate “not valid”.

On Wednesday morning, the AP is reporting that Reid has done a quick flip-flop:

Senate Democrats plan to accept Roland Burris for President-elect Barack Obama‘s vacant seat, despite Democratic leaders’ vows to reject any appointee of Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

After being rejected Tuesday when he tried to join the class of incoming freshmen senators, Burris found new support on Capitol Hill as Democratic leaders scramble for a way to defuse the standoff with growing racial, political and legal complications.
[...]
Senate officials in both parties, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly for Senate members, said there is a growing expectation on Capitol Hill that the saga will end with Burris being seated.

As of now, that’s called pulling a McCain. But if Reid is not careful, it’ll soon come to be known as pulling a Reid.
