I strongly support Harry Reid's re-election, but I passionately support Dick Durbin as the new. . .

. . .Senate Majority Leader.

With his statement regarding the Muslim community center in lower Manhattan he failed the summer recess's exam on leadership and tolerance.

Lets get him re-elected and then rally behind Dick Durbin to become the next majority leader.

1. I like your thinking and really like Durbin. Hope he gets back to good

health soon. Had a stomach tumor removed and that's always a concern.

2. Durbin would be a huge improvement.

3. second that one.

both he and jan schakowsky are on the 'catfood commission'. they both know how to kick ass, and this has been one of jan's big issues since * tried to get his grubby hands on it.

4. Durbin has zero chance

I can't see the Senate choosing a leader from Chicago when we have a President from Chicago. If we thought Byrd brought bacon to WV a team like that would bring the whole slaughterhouse to Illinois. I think he would be great, but I really don't see it happening. I would love to see Leahy, Kerry, or Boxer.

5. have you seen jan's opponent?

we gonna beat him like he stole something.

6. As a person Durbin is likely a good guy

but can't see him as leader. I like Schumer. He has his faults but letting the GOP get away with shit isn't one of them.
