The best thing that could happen to the Democrats would be for Harry Reid to lose next year. Hopefully they can pick a leader that can actually LEAD and not follow. Reid is a total buffoon in my view. He would screw up a wet dream. I never thought anybody would be more ineffective than Daschle was but leave it to the Democrats to find somebody even worse.
What politician can "lead." To me this is just fantasy that you and many misguided people have about politicians. All politicians want to get re-elected. That is the fundamental force that drives their decisions. All of the politicians hedge their decisions and play to party lines...all of them do it. You can criticize Harry Reid but I guarantee you the person who fills his shoes will do the same thing.
Look at Obama. The guy ran on an anti-war campaign and promised to withdraw 20,000 troops from Iraq by August. He promised to close GITMO. Again, Obama is concerned with being re-elected. He doesn't want to convey that he is soft on terrorism. He is pandering to conservatives so that he gets re-elected in 2012.
I hope you two know they do the picking by the rule of seniority.
That would make Robert Byrd, who has been in office for over 50 years, the Senate Majority Leader, not Harry Reid, who has been in office a mere 22 years.

Right now it appears your dream will come true. If the election was today he would get creamed!!!
Harry Reid couldn't pass a bill with 80 votes, and Max Baucus should be primaried.
Every time I look at the Senate I see the need to repeal the 17th Amendment
My choice for GOPer gone would be Michelle Bachman.
I like Minnesota it's my favorite State of all that I have visited. . It has alot of good, wise people there. This kook is an embarrasement to that State.
