If you've read my blog over the years you know he's one of my favorite Democrats. I love him for the way he went after Romney in 2012 where that friend of his told him what was really on-or more to the point wasn't- Romney's tax returns

Romney is glad Reid's retiring-hey Mitt at least he's retiring at a time of his own choosing.

I love Reid for how much he hated W. When he had to meet with Bush he looked as if he really would have liked to have took a swing at him-and Harry is a born fighter-as well as a former boxer.
But I also really admire how he is retiring here. Even now he's' not cutting and running.
After watching Republicans rout his party in last year’s elections and hand his job to Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid is launching one final campaign to return Democrats to the Senate majority.
"And no detail is too small to let slip."
"Reid’s name isn’t on the ballot, of course. But at a time when another leader might gradually relinquish the reins of power to his or her successor — in this case, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York — the 75-year-old Reid has embarked on a behind-the-scenes drive to relegate last year’s sweeping losses to a mere blip in the history books. A victory next November could put Reid’s legacy in a more positive light for Democrats after last year’s midterms, when Republicans contended that voters were sending a strong rebuke to Reid and President Barack Obama’s style of leadership in Washington."
"After spending the first part of the year recovering from a gruesome eye injury, Reid has ramped up the past several weeks. His fingerprints are all over next year’s Senate map: recruitment calls to potential candidates in New Hampshire, Florida, Maryland and Wisconsin, fundraising trips to Canada and New York, and, not least, mobilizing his vaunted political machine to keep his own seat in the “D” column."
"The effort is part recruitment, part fundraising. Reid helped persuade former Sen. Russ Feingold to run in Wisconsin and has called New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan as part of the party’s full-court press to urge New Hampshire’s governor to run in the state’s marquee Senate race. His political machine has kicked into high gear to save his own seat in Nevada, where Republicans on Monday enlisted a top-tier recruit, Rep. Joe Heck, against Reid’s handpicked replacement, former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto."
"I’m going to do everything I can,” Reid said in a recent interview.

See that's a man-that's what football players call 'a guy'-I love the way he's retiring. He's not acting like he can't wait to blow this hot dog stand and let those staying pick up the pieces. He's totally invested in what happens to his party when he's gone.
God Speed Harry Reid! That rhymes, it doesn't only rhyme. You will be so missed.
