“Say what you will about Harry Reid, but the fact is that the man is an excellent political negotiator.
“As good a natural political poker player as Reid is, his skills are accentuated when he sits at a table with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Boehner, bless his heart, is an honest man. Every hand, he’s dealt three tens. And, every hand, just to be fair, he shows his cards before the betting begins.
“McConnell, by contrast, doesn’t flip his cards in advance, but he also is risk averse. He’s so risk averse that he plays every hand like he’s holding a pair of jacks, even if he’s holding better cards.”

From the “does he really want to go there?” department, Harry Reid unwittingly points out that when he was out of power, Nevadans were doing a lot better; and as soon as he took control of the Senate, unemployment in Nevada shot way up.
“Unwitting” has been a fitting description for Reid lately.

“Harry Reid's campaign, however, took the code from the prior Angle website and launched a website called ‘TheRealSharronAngle.com.’ The fake website was what, in internet terminology, is called spoofing, where a seemingly real website is created, usually to obtain information under false pretenses (frequently referred to as ‘phishing’).”
Harry Reid illegally copies Sharron Angle’s web site and then reconnects the forms so that people who think they’re on her site give him their personal information. Harry Reid: Both illegal and unethical.
