WASHINGTON -- It was a potentially counter-intuitive pitch Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was making today, about how the presumed Democratic presidential candidate from Illinois actually understands issues in the West better than the Republican one from Arizona.
But there he was on a call with Western reporters, summing it up like this:
"Barack Obama doesn't wear cowboy boots, doesn't wear a cowboy hat -- because it wouldn't look right," Reid said. "That's for people like Ken Salazar who really are ranchers." (Salazar, the Democratic Colorado senator, was also on the call.)
But in the West, in places like Hawthorne, Nev., Reid went on, "Barack Obama really identifies with people."
Does Reid have anything to do?
Maybe Reid could call the Senate back into session and pass a energy security bill.
Filling the pages of the Sun with these words of wisdom from the Senate communication war room (paid by taxpayers) is highly suspect.
I understand Harry Reid's support for Obama. I am sure he wishes Tony Resko was still out and working. With Harry's past land deal experience with shady guys, Obama's position and Resko's experience, Harry could have made a bundle.

I thought Obama gave up on those bitter folk who cling to guns and religion because they do not know how to deal with problems.
I guess he will not call them that to their faces................only in yuppie secret fundraising meetings
