I'm happy that Harry won. That RW crank Angle was just unacceptable. It's good to see that Reid fights, though it seems like he fights hardest for himself.

Anyway, I'd like to ask Reid and Pelosi to both step out of leadership positions. They have done their jobs. Bring on Durbin or Schumer and/or Clyburn or Becerra. It's time to move on.

1. I have to agree about Reid...

Some people say he isn't tough enough... but I doubt we know everything that goes on behind the scenes. Maybe Harry Reid is tough as hell, knocking heads, and corralling Dems with an iron fist.

HOWEVER, that is definitely not the way he presents himself in front of the cameras. He has a lack of charisma IMO, and he often does NOT appear tough, passionate, angry or committed. I also think Reid has done a poor job communicating the Dem's successes in the Senate, as well as the serious problems that Republicans have created with obstruction. Like it or not, in the communication age our leaders need to be "spokesmodels" for their ideology. On that count, Harry Reid has not impressed me with his soft-spoken, genteel style.

Where is our "Hammer"?

(However, I hope Pelosi stays on... I really really like her!!!)
