Can we hear again from the people who said "Harry Reid was a crappy leader."
"He was incompetant"
"He should be replaced"
"He's stupd"
etc

I'm curious what you think now?

Because I was happy with him then and I'm even happier now.
He's been a positive face for the Party.

1. I'd like someone a little tougher...Leahy, Durbin
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the Dem majority leader should be pro-life. But that's just me

2. Not from me--I've been a fan from the get-go.
He shows the nation that Dems can talk tough and still be gentlemen.

4. Reid
I have always thought he was a better leader than Daschle was.In 2 years he lead us back to Majority,and it took 6 years for Daschle to lead us to 5050 Senate.

3. I never said he was a crappy leader - but I was initially very skeptical...
Edited on Thu Nov-09-06 06:36 PM by TankLV
When the chips were on the line, I have voted for him 100% all times, tho - he is MY senator.

But my opinion of him has definitely gone up recently and is steadily rising.

I'm impatient - I want a perfect world NOW - my partner is more pragmatic...

OK - I smell popcorn now - who is making popcorn in the office?!?!?!

5. I think the Democrats spent the last six years as
a woefully incompetent opposition party

as a leader, he deserves blame for that

7. The same
he's not the best person for the job. I'm not sure he deserves the credit for Dems getting a majority back, either. A lot of that credit goes to both Howard Dean and DSCC chair Chuck Schumer.

9. I was one, I admit.

I preferred durbin.

but the jury is still out. the job of the senate majority leader
doesn't begin until our party is seated in the senate.
