Since when do Democrats step down just because of some bothersome scandal? Did Bill Clinton step down? Did Gary Condit step down? Reid isn't giving up his post. He isn't going anywhere.

There is no way that Reid will step down as minority leader. That would totally gut the Democrats' "this is a Republican scandal" line. They have too much invested in it. They have built their entire 2006 election strategy on it.

Gary Hart? Not an official post, but he was the Dem front runner.

I would have to agree with this conclusion - RATs never step down. They have to be dragged off to prison or be buried before they would voluntarily leave a leadership post! Remember they have different rules than Repubs have - just look at the House with Tom DeLay.
