Is it me or is the fact that the Senate Democrats are going to have a new leader not seem to be making much news. Sure Daschle's demise made news but the fact that no one is challenging Sen. Harry Reid for the vacant post is troubling to me. The lack of coverage of just who Reid is is also troubling.
Reid is a "Democrat". He was for the Bush tax cuts, a pro lifer, supporter of the war in Iraq, and the NRA's choice on the ballet for Nevada. No wonder Daschle's defeat was so high on the Republican's todo list!
So for those keeping score. We have a Republican President, a Republican controlled Senate with a "Democrat" Democratic Minority Leader, and a Republican controlled House. The fate of our country lies within Nancy Pelosi's hands. I wonder what Rove will do to her?
