Reid To Worried Dems: "This Will Be Over Long Before The Convention"

New York Times:

Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic majority leader, is among the Democratic party leaders concerned about the tone of the presidential campaign. In an interview, Mr. Reid said that Democrats fretting over divisions in the party "need to relax and cool it a little bit."

He said he has had separate conversations with the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and former Vice President Al Gore recently and is confident that the nominating fight will end naturally.

Yeah, right Harry. Are you listening to the same Hillary that we are listening to?

[Trinidad707]

Yes especially if all $%^&* hits the fan after Rezko trial begins. That must have been why Obama supporters wanted to rush Clinton to quit the race, as once this stuff gets out there Barrack Obama may not look so pure and may not seem like the candidate of change they thought he would be. He would seem like a corrupt politician instead. This is a corruption trial and Obama had been close with and had business dealings with the Syrian born Tony Rezko for over 17 years. This could cost him the nomination af all is revealed

Well, I'm comforted. But perhaps he should have said this to Hillary---who just this weekend informed the world that she will take it all the way to Denver. This sounds like a stall tactic to me, but even if ti isn't, Reid is no match for Hillary the Hun.

Harry Reid is a national treasure and the highest ranking Democrat in politics. When Harry Reid says a deal is gonna happen you can take it to the bank!

It's already over. It doesn't matter who the Democrats nominate. The Republican machine will fix this election, just like they fixed the last two. Why wouldn't they? Once one starts to steal elections, one has to keep stealing them (it only gets easier!) to avoid punishment and stay out of prison. And Team Rove will be able to brush off the accusations by saying "America just wasn't ready for a black or female President".
I wish I was wrong about this; but with Diebold counting the votes, I can't see any flaws in their plan.

how long before reid's term over

[ChiGuy]

Hillary, can you smell what the Reid-man is cooking?

Enjoy your summer back representing the good people of New York!

[jrterrier]

when did reid replace the voters of the US?

[RButler]

When do the Democrats get to replace Reid and Pelosi? Those 2 might be responsible for losing seats in the House and Senate in November.

[Ramirez]

When it had to be done.

[Irons]

Reid to Dems: Don't worry, i'm sending a strongly worded letter to Hill 'n Bill.

[kevenseven]

I think there is more to it than that.

Ladies and Gentlemen it is without question that Barack Obama will be the Democratic party nominee. He won more votes, more pledged delegates, more states. You cannot simply move the goaI posts any longer just ask Bobby Bowden or Nancy Pelosi. I for one appreciate the tempering Senator Obama has received from Billary’s “kitchen sink, Tonya Harding” strategies. Senator Obama will be stronger for having risen above her divisiveness and our candidate will thus be prepared for the Karl Roves and their fear be afraid be very afraid techniques.
John McCain a.k.a. Senator “McWar” cannot create more make believe boogeymen; the American people are now on to that b.s..

I fought in Iraq in the All Americans 82nd Airborne and join the now legions of my comrades opposed to the war which has cost 4000+ of my comrades in arms their lives and maimed another 25,000+. How much does a trillion and counting cost each American family? I ask any citizen who doubts the price of this war to visit the nearest Veterans hospital to them. The one I visit for therapy has a plaque on it that states The price of freedom is clearly evident here. The price for Iraq is way too high for a war which we should not be in. No WMD, No ties to Al Qaeda Etc. Etc.
Vote Barack Obama America!

The Huffpost moderators' jobs have been outsourced.

There is something good on cable, they are watching that.

[kevenseven]

Or they are all surfing porn sites.

[klondiker]

The calls for Clinton to drop out are ridiculous. Has Obama reached the 2025 delegate mark yet? If not, then shut up and let people vote!

[kevenseven]

I think Obama is going to end this contest with 145 more pledged delegates than Clinton. If that is the case, who should we nominate?

[GeoLee]

Al Gore, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, John Edwards...­but not Barack Obama or Hillary clinton!

[kevenseven]

Those calls make perfect sense.

[kevenseven]

How long have you feared math?

Please start to think with your own mind. It’s a terrible thing to waste.

[DesertLight]

Aptitude test, does anyone else see this guy as irrelevant?

[starboymikey]

Senator Reid, I know this is a cliche, but you can't be part of the solution if you're part of the problem. You and Senator Clinton have become part of the problem.

[CrazyDemocrat]

Reid and Pelosi are first class yahoos

[WLA]

The moderation here has really gotten ridiculous.

[marignymitch]

What moderation? It has stopped.
