Also, Reid is a hapless fool, almost slow. Schummer, OTOH, isn't. He's abrasive, hypocritical, prone to fits of hysteria, and plain irritating, but he's not an idiot.
While it will be nice to have the additional Republican vote should Reid be undone, his replacement might be worse, should the GOP not be able to take back the Senate, as well.
Durbin is ALMOST as obnoxious as Schumer...almost.
