Reid said the Senate will move on to debating regulatory reform once the nominations clear the Senate.

5. Reid is upping his profile for election time and this is a good thing.

Prior to this he was sort of laid back but I think the energy of Obama has rubbed off and he's starting to get with it. Go Harry!

9. About time he grew some.

Too bad Senate elections were not every 3 years...they would need to take a stand more frequently.
