The National Journal's Kirk Victor speculates about Sen. Harry Reid's future as Majority Leader in the next Congress. There is no question about whether Democrats will be gaining Senate seats in next month's election; the only question is how many. Presuming Mary Landrieu holds on in Louisiana, it will be no fewer than five seats and maybe as high as eight or even nine if Republicans fall in places like Alaska, Minnesota and North Carolina. The only question, says Victor, is whether Reid will still be Leader: ... Reid earned chits with his troops because as their whip for six years -- and minority Leader for two -- he tirelessly fought on the floor for the Democratic agenda. He is well liked by the sometimes fractious, ideologically diverse 48 other Democrats and two independents who caucus with them. But Reid's tendency to pop off and his hyperpartisanship can be liabilities. Even as the Senate on October 1 easily passed sweeping legislation to rescue the financial markets, Reid has been less than nimble throughout the process. In fairness, the two House leaders -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio -- had problems within their own caucuses, as 95 Democrats and 133 Republicans rebuffed their pleas and defeated the bill on September 29. Still, when a new administration takes office next year, along with a likely Democratic-controlled Congress, the Senate will be the center of action. Reid is ... Source: www.fark.com --- 25 days ago

The video below is of Harry Reid once again showing us how damaging it is when a politician doesn't understand how to keep his big mouth shut. A problem common to Reid and Nancy Pelosi these days. YouTube URL here . Comments made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid regarding "a major insurance company" being on the verge of bankruptcy sparked fears and sent several large insurance companies stocks downward. Before the Senate passed the multi-billion dollar "bailout" bill, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a comment where he said "We don't have a lot of leeway on time. One of the individuals in the caucus today talked about a major insurance company. A major insurance company -- one with a name that everyone knows that's on the verge of going bankrupt. That's what this is all about." That sparked fear in the hearts of investors, who were already weary of potential problems and suffering losses, almost immediately stocks for several large life insurance companies started to decline. An analyst who covers insurance companies for Raymond James & Associates, Steven Schwartz, saying that investors were already worried about "life insurers' exposure to real estate as well as "secondary exposure" via investments in troubled finance firms like Lehman Bros, Wachovia and Washington Mutual," states that "Harry Reid didn't help any." One of those Fortune 500 companies, New York-based MetLife, saw their stock plunge by 16 perc ... Source: www.nashvillepost.com --- 37 days ago

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal plea to Barack Obama for financial help to grow the Democrats Majority in the Senate. Obama's campaign, having opted out of public financing for the general election, refused Reid's request. The Politico reports Barack Obama, to date, has sent two e-mail and two direct-mail donation pitches on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and allowed Democrats to use his name, his wife's name and his vice president's name in email and online fundraising pitches but there is no joint events with Senate or House Democrats scheduled. Barack Obama collected $66 million for the month of August leaving him with $77 million in the bank for his general election campaign added to the amounts he can collect up until the general election. John McCain did not opt out of public financing, so he has an automatic $84 million to use for the general election. More importantly, McCain will get substantial help from the Republican National Committee — which has dramatically outraised its Democratic counterpart — and the Republican Party’s state and local committees. Reid and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Charles Schumer had hoped at one point to get as much as $10 million from the Obama campaign. With 23 GOP seats up for grabs this year — versus only a dozen Democratic seats — Senate Democrats see a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pad their Majority with ...

Photo: Getty Images Just now, in a televised press conference with Chris Dodd, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid launched into a tirade against John McCain. Some highlights: "Senate Democrats, House Democrats, and Senate Republicans agree those principles laid out by Senator Obama are the ones that must be implanted with regards to the issue, what's called the 'principles of fairness.' … The insertion of presidential politics has not been helpful. It's been harmful … A few days ago I called on Senator McCain to take a stand, let us know where he stands on this issue … But all he has done is stand in front of the cameras. We still don't know where he stands on the issue. " Dodd praised Senate Republicans for their bipartisan work over the past few days, and pledged that they would resolve the issue over the next day or two. He called last night's meeting, contrary to reports, "hardly contentious." ...
