The Rags-to-Riches Story of Harry Reid
As Congress begins a new session on Capitol Hill in January, the Democrats in the Senate have a new leader. Nevada Sen. Harry Reid will take over for the defeated Tom Daschle.

The story of how Reid got to this point in his life is pretty remarkable. In an exclusive interview, CBN News sat down with Reid and his wife Landra, in their Nevada home. Here is a look at the senator's humble beginnings, and how he ended up as the Senate's top Democrat.

What makes this puff piece newsworthy, is that this completely POSITIVE story about Harry comes to us from Pat Robertson's CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network.

And THAT is news... Please visit my completely partisan, and unabashedly biased anti-war website, www.shockedandawful.com

3. Harry Reid imo is a brilliant tactician, he knows the senate rules inside and out
and out maneuvered Frist many times.
