Will Reid Survive?
The dialog on the morning talk shows was all about Harry Reid, and MSNBC was no exception. At issue is the release of the book, “Game Change,” by John Heilmann and Mark Halperin, and the controversial comment made by Senator Harry Reid (D-NV). Reid made comments about Barack Obama as being “light- skinned and having no “negro dialect”.
Unlike Republican’s lack of support for former Senator Trent Lott (R-MS) in 2002, which lead to his removal as senate majority leader the Democrats seem to be supportive of Senator Reid. Both Sen Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Barbara Lee (Leader of the CDC) were supportive of Reid on Monday. Jonathon Capehart of the Washington Post supported Reid on “Way To Early” Whether or not, Reid will be able to sustain a continued poor approval rating or his Majority Leader Status after the election remains to be seen.
