    He posted this video this morning. 

     

     

    Senator Reid is 75 years old and has been in politics since 1968.  He has had a long career. He entered the senate in 1986 and became Majority leader in 2006.  He was injured this winter in a fall.

    I follow Harry Reid on Face Book and this video was just posted in the last hour. I wish him and his family the best.  You can always tell a good politician when they know it is time to pass on the torch. 

    I always disagreed with him on abortion because he wanted it to be restricted to cases of rape and health reasons.  Other then that I think he served the country well. 

    His wife was sick a few years ago and I think he realizes they need to spend the time that they have enjoying life.

    Harry is going to be 76 this year.

    He is a good man.

    He has looked in agony since his accident.

    I do not think he should drive a car, but I trust him for the next 20 months to keep on keepin on.

    I am just worried that our party loses another Senator.

    I just cannot see Nevada electing a Democrat as one of its Senators?

    I was expecting him to retire before he fell on the ice.  There will be plenty of speculation as to who will be his replacement.  I just hope who ever it is that s/he will be dynamic and for the little guy.  

    The playing field is on the Democratic home turf this time.
