Any ideas on how Chuck Schumer will be as Minority Leader?

[book_worm]

While we didn't get the majority back (DAMN!) we did pick up two seats. Any ideas of how Schumer will be as Minority Leader? Will he be a fighter or a conciliator?

1. He'll be a friend of Wall Street

[Wilms]

2. He knows what he's doing.

But he's pretty cozy with Wall St. That's not too good.

3. He will deliver enough votes to reach 60 anytime the rethugs ask real nice

4. He is an old school, gritty down and dirty NY politician

He is not as sophisticated as Reid in terms of "speaking softly but carrying a big stick", but trust that whatever he does will probably need to be of benefit to him and his state (and maybe the rest of us if he is so inclined). I.e., he is no Elizabeth Warren.

5. I fear he is a weasel and not a friend of the "people"

6. Bad image - more Wall Street, more losses

I don't care how much money he raises. His image as a corporate shill is awful.
