3. hehe not always
but I can be reasonable sometimes. Thanks.

I think its ok to disagree without being disagreeable. I also think Reid understands that with 45 Senators there is only so much you can do. He can badmouth Scalia all day long, but that doesn't mean it will result in anyone else being made Chief Justice. Paul Wellstone could rise from the dead to become Democratic Senate Leader and we would probably still end up with Bush's choice for Chief Justice.

Overall, I like his interviews so far. I've liked Reid for a long time and I think he'll do a better job than Daschle. Daschle was perfect in 94 because he was such a strong contrast to the combative and evil nature of New Gingrich's leadership in the House. But Daschle gave in to Bush too much and I think Reid is a better person for the moment. I think he knows how to appeal to people outside of DC.
