Will Harry Reid remain the Senate Majority Leader??

[madinmaryland]

At this point, I love to see Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, or Pat Leahy.

[cynatnite]

1. I believe so. n/t

[Ron Green]

2. I hope to hell not.

[socialshockwave]

4. Hear hear.

I'd like to see a REAL Democrat rather then a DINO.

[SargeUNN]

3. Yes

no way anyone tries to take him out of it. Sorry, I am not a fan of his but it is extremely unlikely that anyone would think of trying to replace him.

[kenny blankenship]

5. I'd love to see him shake his head and say "he just doesn't have the votes"

Gosh he's awful sorry about it, but he just doesn't have the votes.

[gmoney]

6. They should find someone less colorful and charismatic

I mean, Harry, tone it down a bit...

[bobbolink]

27. He can't. Street fighters are just naturally flamboyant.

[joeybee12]

7. Bicth all you want, but Harry takes the blows for the DINO's who tell him no...

and then he keeps their names a secret.

[hedgehog]

8. Maybe that's been the problem all along!

[Tesha]

17. You beat me to it! Outing a few non-Democratic Democrats could have helped a lot...

...over the last few years!

28. Yes. We need to know who to target

other than Obama.

[kenny blankenship]

10. I'd like for him to tell us WHY we don't have the votes. We just don't have the votes

Why is that Harry? Exactly WHO is holding out and sabotaging the Democratic agenda THIS TIME??? Maybe if we knew we could persuade Senator X to come in with the team for the Big Win?

But then that's why they selected you for the "Leadership" right? Because you're so pliant? So discreet? Like an undertaker for the Democratic platform.

[JerseygirlCT]

12. And this is a good thing?

Giving cover to the likes of Nelson and Lincoln?

[joeybee12]

23. Hey, all I'm saying is that's why he's in there...and why he's gonna be elected again...n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

31. Gotcha. Thanks. nt

[Autumn]

20. And he does that so well

:thumbsup:

[CatWoman]

9. I hoppe not

although I'm happy he was reelected, it's time for him to step down as speaker.

[JerseygirlCT]

11. Anyone but him

Well, maybe not ANYONE, but almost anyone.

He's been one lousy, whimpy, ineffectual leader.

Give us someone with some guts, a big mouth and it wouldn't hurt if they actually bought into most of the Democrat's ideals. (I'm talking to you, Mr. Pretty-damned-iffy-on-choice Reid)

[Gaedel]

13. Durbin would be the best bet.

Schumer can be a pit bull, but come the 2012 elections, his ties to Wall Street and banking might be embarrassing to other Democratic senatorial campaigns.

Leahy is sort of colorless.

[asdjrocky]

14. He did a heck of a job in the last Congress. nt

[madinmaryland]

30. "heckuva job Reidie"

:rofl:

[Kennah]

15. I like Harry

He's scrappy in an election surviving when there's no reason for him to survive, but dammit all can't some of that shine through as Majority Leader?

[AlinPA]

25. He has no backbone in the senate. We need someone like Barbara Boxer to kick ass.

16. I'll bet the Republicans like this Democratic House Majority Leader

Maybe Reid will be fired up after this election, but he can't move legislation unless he's prepared to having an organizing rules fight for the next Congress. If Reid, Obama, and Senate Democrats are not willings to have this fight, nothing will happen for the next 2 years.

[rury]

18. Chuck Schumer is combative

I want to see him in that position!

[pacalo]

19. Schumer would be so much more effective in leading the Democrats.

I've always wondered, why Reid? He's too meek for that role.

[AlinPA]

21. If he does, we end up as big losers.

[LawnLover]

22. When Obama mentioned today that he spoke to those who lost lasts night

he mentioned both Pelosi and Reid. Maybe that was code for new speaker coming down the pike.

[BlueIris]

24. I hope he keeps his job.

I've actually grown quite fond of Harry Reid.

[lamp_shade]

26. I certainly hope so.

[DainBramaged]

29. Throw the compromising bum OUT
