Bush appears to have Harry in his sights
First his not-so-vague reference to the people in Las Vegas during his speech last week. Now this statement about the 6 month extension of the Patriot act is a shot across the bow.

Will the repugs try to do the same to Reid that they did to Daschle? I don't even know if Reid is up for election in 06.

1. This prey shoots back.
Harry will not just grin and take it. He will turn it around to make Bush look like the bad guy, which in fact he is.

3. I agree with you..
Reid is a boxer, and understands the "counter-punch." Won't surprise if he he calls again for an executive session of the Senate and puts the Chimp on notice.

2. Reid is a thorn in his side; of course Bush will jab
Don't ever underestimate Harry Reid, and a comparison to Daschle is irrelevant, IMHO.

7. Daschle came from an almost all-Red state
Nevada is a lot more evenly mixed and Reid is a heavyweight there. He is pretty much unbeatable.

6. Reid is no Daschle
and the "popular war president" ain't so popular anymore. He has a credibility and competence problem so most people don't give a shit what he says. Moreover, Reid is not from a deep red state.

9. Of course they will - they attack all our leaders. They attack all our
strength. Good people have to be mighty and fight oriented to even think of going into politics.

10. Harry is not afraid of a fight...
...unlike Daschle. He is ready and willing to punch back as hard as he can.

Give 'em Hell Harry !!!
