Chris Dodd For Senate Majority Leader !!!
Is there any way we can get rid of (used to) Give 'Em Hell Harry Reid as the leader of the democratic senate caucus? He hasn't been effective since we took control and needs to go. Because let's face it Dodd ain't winning the nomination he seeks....but he has shown that he has the balls to fight these obstructionist republicans-UN-like Harry Reid...

6. There is no way to get rid of Reid, short of voting him out of the Senate
or should his colleagues vote to elect a new ML.

8. Yea that's what I'm talking about Cali
vote him out-not completely OUT of the senate, we don't want that-just out as leader-he's too soft spoken-just as Tom Daschle was-who I loved BTW

15. He is a chip off the old block. His dad was a crusader decency-
Tom Dodd- and a prosecutor at Nuremburg. Read his book. Its terrific.

16. Help me out here: has a Democratic leader ever been voted out and replaced
by a more progressive voice? I can't think of one.
The examples that come to mind are not encouraging:

Tom Foley - defeated for reelection by repub George Nethercutt
George Mitchell - resigned, seat taken by repub Olympia Snowe
Tom Dashcle - defeated for reelection by repub John Thune.
