Edging out Dingy Harry

The Washington Times‘ SA Miller writes that the Clinton supporters have decided that she should take Harry Reid’s job as majority leader in the Senate to compensate her for her loss in the primaries;

A coalition of Democrats who can’t get over Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton losing the presidential nomination is trying to install her as the party’s majority leader in the Senate.

The groups are calling on Mrs. Clinton’s backers to withhold support for the party’s senatorial candidates across the country unless the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and the chamber’s Democrats pledge to elect the former first lady as majority leader, a post currently held by Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada.

“The [Democratic National Committee] may have undermined 18,000,000 voters, but we can do our best to make sure that the DSCC and the Senate don’t do the same,” the Clinton backers said in an e-mail to supporters Friday, a day after Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the party convention here.

As an American, I agree that Reid should be fired, but as a Republican and a Conservative, I like Reid right where he is…he’s led the worst Senate in history. While totally ignoring the Democrat agenda and focusing solely on ending a war that has almost been over since he took the position, he’s led the Democrat-controlled Congress into history books as the most useless legislative body ever.

Of course, Hillary would probably perform about equal to Harry, it’s just that we’d have to see her much more often on television. I’d think Democrats would want to focus on winning the election in Novemeber first but, Democrats aren’t known for their brilliant political manueverings. I love political sideshows.
