7. Reid has to be one of the most ineffective majority leaders and..............

........boring as hell to boot, but to have this nitwit basically tied with him going into election day is unfuckingbelievable. The polls should have Reid leading her 70-30. This is just one snapshot of how fucked up this country has become.
