Reid's dilemma: side with Republicans or Obama?

Politico reports:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has signaled he’s open to making a deal with Republicans to clear a finite list of President Barack Obama’s languishing nominees, but the idea sets up a potential conflict with fellow Democrats and the White House who want to ram through as many as possible now before they hand over their majority.

Reid’s approach would keep the holiday season from ending in a series of bitter midnight sessions and could avoid antagonizing Republicans, who are warning Democrats not to test them just weeks before the Senate changes hands in January.


Great moments of the Democrat party.
