"I don't like to give grades to the president. It's kind of early in the term, but it certainly wouldn't be a good grade at this stage," Reid said.

Wow! Reid must have blazed new trails to come up with that gem. The rats would stand a better chance of picking up seats if they all had their vocal cords severed and learned to smile and listen. Getting out of the way would be a good idea too.

"I think around the country people just thought they could win in the cities," the Nevada Democrat told The Associated Press.

No, they thought they could get enough votes in the cities through fraud to steal the whole election.

Democrats failed to take message to rural America

Wrong again Harry. They got your message loud and clear, and they saw it as dog waste on a hot sidewalk.

Reid said he expects new Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean to help reverse that trend, especially in the South and West

Snowball's chance in hell.

"I hate Republicans. And everything they stand for."
--Howard Dean

Yea, come out to the rural areas of America with a pro-abortion, anti-gun, high-tax, anti-God, pro-homosexual, anti-military message. Should do great!

The Dems just don't get it, do they? They think it's all about them, and can't accept that rural America rejected their "message". Rural America knows the smell of manure, and we know where it comes from. Their party symbol is a jackass for a reason....

"We are going to pick up Senate seats in 2006, it's only a question of how many," Reid said at a Reno news conference before his scheduled address to the Nevada Legislature in Carson City.

Now's the time to begin organizing to make sure the RATS lose Senate seats, not gain them in 2006! Reid is a loser and needs to be removed from office as soon as possible.

[blackdog]

I understand that one rural guy in Woody Creek Colorado sent the democrats a reply to their message. It was rather disappointing and depressing.

HST being DOA is AOK. AMF HST and take some more DNC with you.

Proving that if the casino owners are behind him, and they surely are, he will be hard to beat. They have all the money and influence in Nevada, especially in the legislature.

[Goldwater4ever]

Harry Reid lost in Elko, Church, Douglas, Esmeralda, Eureka, Lander, Lincoln, and Lyon Counties against a relatively unknown Republican.

[mad_as_he$$]

Oh yea Harry is untouchable. But he needs to go!

"I think around the country people just thought they could win in the cities"

WHAT ..?? They're a political party and they don't even know if they are winning in the cities or not .. and why don't they know ..?? Maybe because they took too many voters for granted ..??

You're right - they still don't get it.

Democrats lost three seats in the U.S. Senate in November

That's very interesting math. The Republicans had 51 seats before and now have 55. 55-51=3?

[sweetliberty]

It just never seems to cross the feeble little pea brains of these blithering morons that it wasn't that people didn't get their message, but that they heard it loud and clear, and soundly rejected it.

[Crapgame]

I shouldn't be surprised that the AP got it wrong again. President Bush carried EVERY county in Nevada with the exception of Clark. I live in Washoe County and can tell you for fact that President Bush carried this county by at least 4,000 votes and that is the county that surrounds Reno-Sparks. God I wish I had the money and name recognition to run against Harry Reid next time. I would love nothing better than to replace him in the Senate.

[Republican Wildcat]

I guess they used the same math that they used to calculate the number of Senate seats picked up by the Republicans.

[ken5050]

Reid obviously wants to replace terry McSuloffe as the Dem's chief election prognosticator...

BTW..if you've ever seen Citizen Kane..with the great "Rosebud" line..every time Reid makes an appeaance, someone needs to go "Searchlight"

[leprechaun9]

"Democrats failed to take message to rural America"

This statement is FALSE. The Deomcraps have a very long track record of following the essence of WHO THEY ARE! THEY ARE THE PIMPS OF THE ELECTION INDUSTRY WHO WHO EAT, SLEP, AND BREATHE THE Politics of Fear, Division, and Hatred

[AF68]

America is waking up to these clueless princes who ride around in jet planes and limousines between their mansions, telling the rest of us how to live and demand that we hand over more of our hard-earned wages to maintain their vassels in the Democrat fiefdom.

[fortheDeclaration]

Amen!

See, I can ámen' a Calvinist!
