Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, after two days of reflection on his debate with Republican challenger Sharron Angle, shared some thoughts Saturday about how he thinks it went.
Reid acknowledged that he "should have been more aware she'd do some unusual things" - he didn't specify - and said it's "very typical for her to not tell the truth" and "walk away from positions."
Reid stressed that he lives in a second-floor, one-bedroom apartment in Washington, D.C., not a penthouse as Angle implied during the debate, and spent much of his personal wealth putting his children through college.
Many pundits declared Angle the winner, but Reid said David Gergen, a senior political analyst for CNN and formal presidential advisor, called the debate in his favor.
When asked if he thought the perception of an Angle victory would hurt him, Reid said he wasn't aware of any journalists or pundits who declared her the winner and said he'd "take Gergen's word."
In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Gergen said he thought Reid had a much better grasp of Washington legislation but Angle captured "the spirit of the times" and "probably helped herself." Gergen also said Reid looked "a little old at times."
Reid said Saturday he wouldn't have done anything differently during the debate. He did, however, lament having only one minute to answer questions, a format he said "was set for her."
Harry Reid will win by a landslide.
Today, my family and all of my friends voted for
HARRY REID.
That's just part of the landslide.
Why would Senator Reid vote NO on English the national language for the United States Government? I guess that he prefers Spanish, he would make a good Politician in Mexico. Vote for Sharron Angle, she cleaned Reid Clock. Welcome Senator Sharron Angle.
2050 is the year latinos are projected to become the majority in the USA. You can have your "official." Latinos won't need it. It's all in the numbers. How many beautiful latinos were born in the USA today?
"Reid said Saturday he wouldn't have done anything differently during the debate"
If you have not made up your mind yet then please do so based on the above statement.
Only a old fool would make that statement.
He couldn't have done anything differently because he's brain dead.
