Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid won’t seek reelection when his term comes up next year. I’ll have a lot to say about that later, but I have some regular job work I have to do before I can ruminate about the Searchlight, Nevada senator’s career.
Just as a preliminary, Reid and his wife have had some very serious health scares over the last few years and I think he’s wise to retire just so they can take care of themselves. As for the man, Harry Reid has disappointed and frustrated me over the years but I think he finally came around to my way of thinking on most things, and he’s surprised me. I didn’t think I’d be sorry to see him go, at all, but I will be sorry to see him go. I think he understood, if somewhat belatedly, the nature of the conservative revolution within the Republican Party. And he had a boxer’s instincts.
More later…
