If Dems take back the Senate, where does Harry Reid stand? nt

[AX10]

1. Majority Leader

[mishanti]

2. Don't they then elect

a new Majority Leader who could possibly not be Harry? I think there are probably several others who could do as good or better of a job.

[MADem]

4. Unlikely, unless he chooses to step down, which is also unlikely n/t

[daveskilt]

6. If they retake the senate harry is a big part of the reason why

Give em moderate amounts of hell harry!

[silverojo]

9. I'd like a pro-choice majority leader n/t

3. Aren't there usually new elections when there's a new Congress?

I don't know, maybe that's just a Pub thing, but I thought there were new elections for Majority Leader, Whip, etc. when a new House and Senate took their seats.

5. Yes, but it is usually a rubberstamp vote, no real competition

...unless there is a scandal or a shakeup, like, say, the Leader or Whip LOSES their reelection.

[Maddy McCall]

7. Yes.

10. That's succinct!

So he'll probably get elected (provided we have that option) though he might not if there's a vote. :evilgrin: But there won't be a vote if they get elected! I think I've got it!

8. When (not if) .. WHEN.. we take over the senate in November...

...Senator Feingold will take over as our Majority Leader.

Not that it's necessarily time for "Give 'em Hell Harry" to step aside, but hey.. we gotta do what we gotta do.

[babylonsister]

12. I like that, and hello, larissa!

:hi: Damn, this year will be interesting!

[dweller]

11. Proudly, in the spotlight.

He's a rubberstamp.
