Reid Getting Tough With GOP

Wow, who knew Reid could get tough. One of the biggest gripes with Reid is his unwillingness to challenge the GOP. It has been so bad sometimes, people have wondered if it would be better if Reid lost his reelection bid. I, myself, have thought similar things.

But when it comes to Wall Street Reform, Reid draws the line:

"fter quarterbacking health care reform through its tricky final moments in the Senate, Reid put the GOP on the spot yesterday, forcing them to filibuster a broadly popular Wall Street reform bill, and promises to do so over and over again."

Reid did just that. He made the GOP filibuster three times in a row. Which is extremely rare for the Senate leader. Who knows where it goes but I think he's been more combative because of his tight reelection bid. I hope he's remembering all of this so that, if he does get reelected, he'll know what people want from their senator.
