Harry Reid was a liability to his party this year. He promised some changes in his leadership style this time.
Absolutely nothing will change. Boehner and McConnell, Reid and Pelosi.
Same old same old on both sides.
Now I fear he's a huge political liability to the state of Nevada. Here's why:
After last week's election, Nevada isn't a politically 'purple' state anymore but deep dark red. Every state elected office is Republican and both the state assembly and senate are Republican seats by a healthy amount. The Democrats who survived are all political nobodies because we unseated all of their political bigshots in the state house.
Yet still, Harry Reid remains the head of the Democrats in the US Senate and becomes Senate Minority Leader. After so many years of Harry Reid torturing the legislative process in Washington -- shelving hundreds of House bills, playing political kingmaker in races all over the country, and generally acting all around as if he were 'Dr. Evil' -- every Republican in the nation's capitol ought to be gleefully lining up ready to beat the living crap out of anything and everything politically connected to Harry Reid.
I fear the top of that payback list is the state of Nevada, yet we're scarlet red today. Ugh. I just hope that the GOP leadership in Washington DC doesn't see fit to punish the now solidly Republican state of Nevada every chance they get striving to collapse Harry Reid.
