What do you think of Harry Reid?

I admit I've not always been happy with him but he's gotten in a few zingers the last couple of weeks and he's growing on me. He's starting to remind me of Gary Cooper.

Loved seeing him in the negotiations today and thought "he's one of us, even if he is a Mormon" (Sorry, Utah girl reference).

He is far smarter than most people give him credit for.

I've read that he was a boxer in his youth and I believe it. Check out the size of his hands when he talks. He looks like one of those tough, flinty characters that we see in sepia-toned photos from the Old West. Pioneer stock.
