The New Yorker: Fact: "As George W. Bush has learned, Harry Reid does not ignore slights. “I believe in vengeance," he once told a reporter."

No question the guy has a strange background and some unusual views, but you have to admire someone who expects trust from the opposite side and is willing to call them on it publicly without regard to his own reputation. I think he is a good number two guy and for some reason he strikes me as a decent non-beltway lawyer. Question is, does his style buy the dems anything outside nevada and the senate back rooms? My guess is not a lot. Still, if I was picking a task force for communications for the dems, I would include him on it. The guy clearly has a great bs sniffer and can keep messages succinct, almost blunt.
