Harry Reid, you are the weakest link.
Folks,
The Democrats made a tactical mistake selecting Reid to replace Daschle. He's vulnerable and they set themselves up for the embarassment of having him voted out of office. That would be twice it happens to them, and that's just stupid.
But beyond that, I urge FR not to over-reach. We will likely be in the minority someday. Every measure we take to emasculate the minority party, especially when it's a minority party by just a handful of seats, will come back to haunt us eventually.
There is a conservative consensus in the US. There is not an overwhelmingly conservative consensus in the US.
