Nevada senator rises to top leadership slot (Harry Reid)

[NVMojo]

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Even before a key race was decided, Democratic Nevada Sen. Harry Reid told reporters Wednesday he was certain he would emerge as the U.S. Senate majority leader and promised to deliver major benefits for his home state.

While Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia wouldn't concede his loss, Reid said, "It doesn't matter whether he concedes." He said elections experts have looked closely at the contest and don't see any other outcome than Allen being replaced by Democrat Jim Webb.

The Associated Press called the race for Webb late Wednesday. The resulting 51-49 edge for Democrats, who count two independents among their ranks, means there's no need for the shared-leadership structure that that developed after the 2000 elections left the Senate evenly divided.

But Reid said he wants a "partnership" with Republicans and doesn't foresee Democrats turning vindictive now that they're in control - although there will be a different tone in Congress with both the House and Senate now under Democratic control.
