George Will had this to say about Sen Reid last week:

"Democrats are slowly coming to the realization that Sen. Harry Reid is simply not up to the job."

Democrats are slowly coming to the realization that Sen. Harry Reid is simply not up to the job.

Reid IS up to the job the democrats have always done.

They USE the country club mentality to rake republicans over the coals.

Compare to a similar situation, it used to be that profesional courtesy could be extended to fellow lawyers for matters not related to cases or trial. (vacations, schedule conflicts, civil talk) With the advent of 1 seat for every applicant law schooling, professional courtesy went pretty much out the door. Many state bars tried to bring it back via professional courtesy education programs but soon found that while some got the message, there were lawyers who USED the concept of professional courtesy to their advantage. IOW they would demand extensions and reschedules to fit their personal needs but would NEVER extend it to others. (a screw them before they screw you)

Reid is just that kind of a democrat. Invoke tradition, comity and courtesy and after you have recieved it, screw the republicans because they showed weakness.

Republicans have to lean to play for keeps. McCain is a perfect example of a country club weakling.
