Dump Harry Reid

I would be heartened by these sinking Harry Reid poll numbers—perhaps finally the Democrats can get a real Majority Leader—if I had any confidence that the Dems wouldn't go and put someone like Ben Nelson in charge. This is a no-brainer, folks: the Senate majority leader should be a dyed-in-the-wool, take-no-prisoners liberal from an incredibly safe seat in New England, not twist-in-the-wind compromisers from swing states with skin-of-your-teeth electoral margins. Mind-blowing, I know. You don't see Republicans giving Snowe, Collins, or Specter positions in the leadership.

...Oh God. They're going to make Specter Majority Leader, aren't they.
