Some one needs to grow a set and challenge Reid for his Leadership Post

[Thrill]

Boxer or Durbin should make a run.

1. Boxer would be somewhat unusual with "a set"

7. But maybe...

that is Change We Can Believe In :)

2. Love em both but I think with Franken and then Snow, Collins and Lugar voting

with Dems we will beat the Repubs back into their caves.

3. I was hoping that was where HillaryC would end up.

And Barney Frank as speaker!

4. Harry "I always quit at first resistance" Reid.

Worst Democratic Majority Leader Ever.

5. What does it say about Democrats who are afraid to challenge *Reid*?

Are they afraid that Senator Marshmallow is gonna put up a fight, or is the general Congressional inertia simply too daunting?

6. Ok, here's how it works

First step is the would be challenger has to be somebody who has a lot of power and personal support. They need to go around and round up votes before anything is even announced, lobby for the position as it were. Only when it's looking like there would be enough support to mount a serious challenge would official word get out and then it's on. Reid and challenger (along with their respective supporters) go around raising as much support as possible.

This is machine politics. Rarely does a vote having to do with the political machine hold any surprises, such is usually settled before official votes are cast.

Just throwin' that out there.

8. I want a challenge to Reid was well but when the new congress gets in

We will have a few more Dems as well as some moderate Repubs (Lugar, Snowe, and Collins) to vote with us.
