FLASHPOINT:

You knew this would start up again:

You knew this would start up again: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid might lose his leadership post to Hillary Clinton if she loses. This from Congress Daily: “Some aides on both sides of the aisle say such ambitions might not be far-fetched. Before a string of wins Tuesday breathed new life into her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, whispers about her interest in replacing ... Reid ... were common in the Capitol hallways. ‘She’s not going to sit around being just an average senator,’ said one Republican aide. A Democratic strategist, who said such reports have been making the rounds for a couple of years, called the idea that Clinton would replace Reid ‘bogus and baloney.’ ” And yet, I bet we hear it again.

    Suggest removal

    Wishful thinking on Obama's part. She ain't gonna lose and Obama will then be President of the Senate just like his cousin. The repukes make a big deal out of his middle name, when they should be looking farther up the family tree. Does this mean Dick, and they don't call him that because of his name, has Muslims for relatives?
