Reed would have been replaced with Chucky Schumer ~ hardly a more palatable type!
or Dick Durbin....but both give a more modern look to the Dems than Harry.
Whereas, the Pubbies are looking relatively hip baaabeee !
Seriously, in total, we are looking more current, especially if Michelle Bachmann gets into leadership. I don’t know Henserling, but he sounds pretty together. Boehner, Ryan, Cantor, the California rep. Mitch is the only leader looking a bit long in the tooth...on par with Durbin or Chucky, but still better than Harry.
