Reid: 'We are going to lose in South Dakota'
Source: Argus Leader
RENO, Nev. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday he expects Democrats to maintain control of Senate in the fall elections but acknowledged things could change between now and then.
"If the election were held today, we'd be in the majority without any question, but the election is not today," Reid of Nevada told reporters at his office in Reno.
The Senate is composed of 53 Democrats, 45 Republicans and two independents who vote with the Democratic caucus.
Reid said he's most concerned about the open seat in South Dakota, where longtime Democrat Tim Johnson is stepping down.

(22,671 posts)It's beyond comprehension that Democrats don't have a super majority in both houses after the crap we've had to endure from the latest bunch of Republi idiots! California did it. The remainder of the country needs to get on board so our government can get things done! Can't do it with obstructionists in power.

It's been weird these past few days with people saying the equivalent of "Well, what do you expect with INSERT NEWS SOURCE" for everything from CNN to AP to NPR. Faux News I can understand, but this total rejection of anything that disagrees with a Pollyanna outlook for the upcoming election or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, anything that questions the popular notion of a sociopathic white cop shooting a angelic black man in the back for no reason is simply bizarre.
