WASHINGTON Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obamas ambitious agenda against fierce Republican resistance.
Mr. Reid, 75, who suffered serious eye and facial injuries in a Jan. 1 exercise accident at his Las Vegas home, said he had been contemplating retiring from the Senate for months. He said his decision was not attributable either to the accident or to his demotion to minority leader after Democrats lost the majority in Novembers midterm elections.

I wonder who told him he wasn’t running.
Is Satan recalling him to hq?
IDK Unpopular but powerful with a potent political machine.
Sandoval could walk into the seat now.

The treadmill named Guido?.....I would bet more like Ho Lee Chit. He didn’t come across for the Chinese.
“Fierce Republican resistance” against its own, silly. :)
Harry has to know this election cycle is going to be bad for Dems.
Timing is a bit suspicious...probably wants to get out of town before Trey Gowdy is sworn in as the next US Attorney General.

I dont have any comment for you at all, said Harry Reids son
LOL...That would be harry reid's hell.
I was meditating this morning and it came to me very strongly that today was going to be an extraordinarily good day. This news gives me the biggest boost!
“Invertebrates are the first to sense cataclysmic changes coming to their environment. 2016 is heaving and he needs a rock to crawl under.”
I proposed we help him out by launching some really big rocks in his direction.
He needs to quit his self sacrificing public service so he can make some REAL money in the private sector
Oh, wait....
Maybe he had seen the writing on the wall that 2016 will go more against the Democrats in a big way.
Nothing new. He has been using his position to enrich his family and friends for decades and nothing has ever been done.
Over and over, forever. Kind of like the Geo. Orwell quote - " If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever". I like it.
Good chance of a GOP pickup with the right candidate.
The last Senator to go to jail was Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ) in 1982 for Abscam and he was the first one in 80 years. I highly doubt our justice system has gotten more just since 1982.
Exactly; thanks for the reminder/history.
Harry POS Reid ALERT!
Retire? He can go to Hell and damnation.
