Maybe Ted will retire (wishful thinking) - his breast stroke is failing him in his old age. Schumer - Mr. dull, drab and dreary in charge? Oh what fun.

No, Schumer was thrown in front of the bus, because no other Democrat would do it. Everyone knows Schumer is stupid, so no one took him seriously -- certainly not the New York voters.

For Schumer to become Minority Leader Reid would have to go. I don't think he would go "quietly into the night" or any where else. I didn't realize his leadership was so tenuous. I figure he was a compromise candidate any way between the left and the right with in the Democrat Party.

The angle required would be for him to grab his ankles.

Yeah Chuckie was such a brite star during the hearings that he put one up that Alito hit straight out of the park....
"Do you Judge Alito think there is a right to free speech in the consitution?"
"I do"
"Well then how could you not then point to a right to abortion in the consitution?"
"Because the constituiton clearly states the right to free speech, there is no such language with regard to abortion it is an interpretation."
Bamm, Bang, Zoom and Chuckie Schmuckie Schumer is down for the count.

Schumer is an obnoxious character to most of the country -- he comes across as too "East coast," abrasive and confrontational. I think he could drive a lot of votes to Republicans.

Schumer would be an ideal Senate minorty leader in one sense -- because he comes from a very liberal state and isn't likely to face any serious threat from a Republican opponent. Having a party leader like Reid -- from a state that has a fairly strong GOP presence and track record -- puts Reid in the same precarious position as Daschle when it comes to holding onto his seat in the Senate.

Ted Kennedy told fellow Democrat Charles Schumer to "take the lead in the grilling of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito before the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Er ah, Chuck, you er (hic) take over from here, OK? I'm just gonna (burp) put my head down a bit."

Reid has thrown his re-election chances under the bus 1) By agreeing to be Dem minority leader and as such beholden to the Hard Left and 2) trusting the Dems to save him.
It's one thing to be loyal to party. It's another to be loyal to a Party content to lose every state but MASS and Cali. He'll be Daschle'd and the Dems are already signaling their intent to throw him overboard five years in advance. Reid's "loyalty" got him nothing from his own leadership.

he's worried about "how he looks" and "how he sounds".
is he kidding, he looks bad and he sounds like somebody from Brooklyn. that's who he is, does he think he looks like Brad Pitt and sounds like Charlton Heston?
To: kddid
Oddly, the only word that comes to mind when I hear Schumer's name is -- icky. Must be some repressed childhood memory.
