Question: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?
Reid: Easy.
Q: How is that?
Reid: It will be done.
Q: It just will?
Reid: Yep.
Q: Magically?
Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (DNC Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.
Regardless of who you support, this is a promising development. The longer we allow John McCain to run unopposed — while at the same time bashing each other over the head with petty insults and attacks — the worse our chances are in the fall. I sincerely hope the Democratic leadership realizes this.
Make it happen, Harry.

Some good news. Thank you.
“Magically”. Snort.
I believe this should happen.
Not for HRC or against Obama.
Just for the people in those 2 states.
But I have to say….
They don’t call it Floriduh for nuthin.
OK, Harry, if there really is some magical thing you can do, why not do it now? Why wait around while more damage is being done to the party?
(Cough, cough) Lotta smoke in here fellas, haha… hand me one of those Cubans…
Well, maybe Harry will be able to get us out of this war.
Reed’s statements today remind me of Nixon’s secret plan to end the war in Vietnam. So far this man has been totally ineffective as a leader. I’ll wait and see.
As much damage as she has done today, alone, do you think you could end her game TOMORROW? I am very tired of this. I am thinking of starting an organization labeled Southern Whites against hateful New York Racism.
Harry Reid will wave his magic wand, and poof…
Honestly, does anyone buy anything “Give em Head Harry” says, anymore? Seriously?
“Promising development”? How’s that? Why not just announce that you are having the inner-chamber decide what will happen next and say “F-k you very much for playing you meaningless voters, now beat it! ” and just be done with it.
Oh, my bad. He just did.
Carry on.
sounds great, i’ll take a flying pig . . .
If Harry Reid had the power to magically accomplish political feats we would already have retroactive immunity for telecoms. For better or worse, this guy doesn’t have a clue.
Why has C&L not posted the clip of Hillary jumping into the reverend Wright fracas?
At last Harry is going to do something. I’m not holding my breath.
The super rich—or the ruling clique—constitutes no more than 0.1 percent of the US population. Yet they control the mainstream media, every branch government, the electoral process and the country’s major financial institutions.
Right Harry?
RMac @ 10:
Well this is the reality. Hillary needed a miracle in order to convince the superdelegates to vote for her. She wasn’t going to win it any other way at this point. But with all of this stuff concerning her credibility and tactics blowing up in her face, even that looks more and more like a pipedream everyday. Meanwhile, the Democratic party is tearing itself apart. Enough is enough! It’s about time someone put their foot down so that we can begin to focus on November.
At last, Harry is going to do something.
You know who HRC talked to when she took her comments on Wright to the press? One owned by Richard Mellon Scaife. Same guy that tried to destroy her husband’s presidency. How sick is that?
Harry Reid? Growing a spine? I’ll believe it when I see it.
I actually believe she wants to knee cap Obama so bad that McCain will win the general in order to set herself up for 2012.
This picture looks like the Bush halo.
nsr @ 15:
Yeah, that’s pretty freaking bad when you think about it. You know, this might be a stretch, but as I have been really getting to know her lately through her campaign, I am convinced that she is capable of pulling a Lieberman on us one day. She seems a bit out of control.
God, it’s like he’s beyond the halo and the Sun God.
Yikes.
nsr @ 15:
The Scaife’s not only tried to destroy her husband’s presidency, but basically accused her of the murder of Vince Foster. The fact that she would even sit down with such media scum reveals desparation and a lack of values.
Don @ 17:
I’m starting to think it’s worse than that. The DLC seems to be in the business of throwing elections.
pray
Gore to the “rescue”
Perhaps Reid is going to call in some of his “friends” from Vegas, to give an offer to Obama that he can’t refuse.
Or failing that he’ll just beg: “Please, Obama, the big money folk just don’t want you, because they want McCai…um, Hillary…to win. So please pretty please leave”
Are there any Clinton supporters here that think this is not hurting the party?
As for the people saying Hillary wants McCain to win, so she can set herself up for 2012, I think that is the only explanation that makes sense.
arrow @ 20:
Funny you say that. I had a nightmare last night that Clinton-Lieberman joined forces and ran as a third-party in the general.
Harry Reid doesn’t know whether to shit or wind the clock.
Ignore him.
Taz @ 21:
This so-called halo shot is not uncommon. A lot of them get photographed like that.
And its not accidental.
i thought he looked drunk
They realize that things must be done, and they realize too much time as already passed. President Obama, here we come. I bet it will be all finished before the Pennsylvania primary.
Harry and Nancy, please excuse yourselves. Neither of you inspire confidence.
.
Whenever Harry Reed reassures me of anything
I always breath a sigh of relief…
then I get fucked in the ass.
Harry Reed: Turning Democrats into Independents since 2005.
Pray for the common man to get the cajones to march on Washington and not only save these freaks from themselves but most importantly move on to save all of us.
There is nothing about what has been happening for years that is for the good of the common man.
AMERICANS: How much is it going to take before we stand up for the common good, for our forefathers?
For humanity. Is corporate rule ok? It’s a world plague.
RickinSF @ 30:
yes, ignore the majority leader of the Senate, because you, internet-blog-poster, can predict the future.
Its Harry Potter magic.
Don @ 17:
I think it is blatantly clear this is what is going on. It seems that she is posturing herself to #1 damage Obama to hurt his chances of getting elected and #2 looking for an offer from the Dems to improver her position in the Senate (Majority Leader). This would pave the way for her to run again in 2012.
I think the only solution is for prominent Democrats to start coming out and supporting their candidate. I don’t care if it is Obama or Clinton, it is just clear that this needs to happen ASAP. Richardson saw this, others should as well.
John McCain’s enlarged prostate @ 35:
Welcome, closeted Republican. (the codeword for ‘independent’ since 1991.)
Harry Reid ! Now there’s a guy you can trust to make things happen !
Correction: I can’t even believe I said “for our forefathers.”
At this point, I think enough of us have a clue to figure it out.
My serious apologies.
ohmy @ 37:
Majority leader of the Senate? The only leader of the Senate I know is McConnell. He let’s Harry bark once in a while, but Harry stays on the leash.
I’m going to reply to one of those DNC emails in my inbox requesting donations and tell them not one more penny until I see some leadership on this primary race.
Yeah, when HARRY REID says things are being done, by golly, THINGS ARE BEING DONE!
Take that to the bank!
Yup, Hildo shows her true Republican colours as this campaign plods on.

I think you’re right - (Not too sure about the site that this comes from…use of “Democrat” instead of “Democratic” has me wondering, but still…):
http://www.nndb.com/group/269/000093987/
“…The New Democrat Movement is sometimes referred to as the Dixiecrat movement due to the DLC’s origination in the southern states, their desire to get rid of affirmative action, and their membership’s overwhelming whiteness….”
“…DLC operatives actively worked to sabotage Howard Dean’s candidacy for the US Presidency in 2004, claiming that the “far-left” Democrat was wrong to attack George W. Bush’s tax cuts and national security policies….”
http://www.dlc.org/
It looks like the DLC is to DNC what neocons are to GOP.
Harry Reid favors Obama, big-time. Howard Dean favors Obama, or at least is very disinclined towards Hillary Clinton. DLC vs. DNC and all that jazz.
Can you say game-set-match? Yeah, I thought you could.
Thank you. About time someone started getting some sense here. the nit picking attacks against both candidates by the blogs is just feeding the republican attack dogs red meat. If you have never misspoke or been affiliated with someone who held ideas and made statements you did not always agree with, then cast the first stone. Otherwise, point out the crap McCain is doing and leave the dems alone to fight it out. they are both good and much better than McCain.
This is the same Harry Reid that crowned Joe Lieberman, remember? We ought to all get on our knees and be thankful it’s Howard Dean running the DNC, and not Terry McAuliffe!
MAKE IT HAPPEN HOWARD!
