I doubt Reid has the gonad power to handle this.

He’s got two choices: (1) exert his authority as the majority leader, which ever way he decides to go, line his forces up and tell the rest of his Party, Im in charge here, if you dont like it - tough.

(2) Try to negotiate his way out the corner his painted himself in.

If he toughs it out, he may have a hard time of it over the next two years with some in his own party, but he will have preserved the Senates independence as called for in the Constitution as a forum of the State’s, not always beholden to public opinion.

If he wimps out, or gives in to political pressure to back down, he might as well hand the laedership over to McConnell, because he will have compromised not only his own authority, but any ethical toughness he should hope to show at a most critical moment, especially with another race still in the balance.

If his past performance is any indication, he’ll go the wimpy route.

You gotta love the Democrats. 2 years, I give them 2 years before this whole thing starts falling apart. With the usual suspects, especially from the California Socialist wing, running the show we’ll see all kinds of beautiful legislation such as, carbon taxes, cafe standards, tax increases, and more pay for play than you can shake a stick at.

Break out some more popcorn, this show’s going to be fun.
