Fuzzdaddy has it right. Reid IS an idiot, but a generally pro-gun idiot, whether this is out of principle or self preservation, I don't care. He voted against Clintons AWB, and has not allowed any anti-gun stuff to come the floor since he's been leader. The NRA gives him an A. Schumer hates guns.Its not opportunism, he is as much a true believer as Kennedy or MaCarthy. He also headed the Dem Senate Campaign Committee in '06 and '08. They lost not one incumbent and gained enough seats to put them at 60. He has a lot of markers to call in, and will be the odds on favorite for Reid's job. If Reid loses, we get Schumer, in exchange for a freshman Senator from the minority party, who will be sharing office space with a janitor's mop. Do the math.
