It's funny how the 2 guys most likely to get the job after Reid didn't get any votes. craigmatic Jun 2013 #3

I noticed that. I like schumer and I have voted for him 3 times but I don't think he should do it. hrmjustin Jun 2013 #4

I think Boxer would be pretty good and wouldn't take any republican bs. craigmatic Jun 2013 #5

Harry Reid. I would have picked LBJ, or Tom Daschle however... graham4anything Jun 2013 #26
