Harry Reid -- compare and contrast
The Senate majority leader extends extraordinary powers to the most right-wing GOP senators while denying those same powers to his own caucus.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-12-17]

  • Senators not good Presidents

    The fecklessness of Obama and Clinton on the FISA vote only further demonstrate that the old narrative of political growth, Senator then President, is a hollow idea.

    When was the last time anyone got really excited about a Democratic candidate who was in Congress? When was the last time one even was elected?

    The skill set one develops as a legislator is not even close to the one needed to be President. As much as I love how Dodd has taken a leadership role, I think that in 08 it would be best if he stayed in the Senate, along with Obama (and the meager good which Clinton brings), and worked to overturn many of the travesties which have been foisted upon us by the GOP and their enablers like Lieberman.
