The 75-year-old Reid says in a statement issued by his office Friday that he wants to make sure Democrats regain control of the Senate next year and that it would be “inappropriate” for him to soak up campaign resources when he could be focusing on putting the Democrats back in power.
Reid also mentioned the Jan. 1 exercising accident that left him badly bruised and struggling to regain sight in his right eye.
He said the accident had given him time to think, and that his first concern should be the country, the Senate and the state of Nevada.
Reid was first elected to the Senate in 1986.
What a patriot for putting country and state before his own interests. The perfect distraction to a pathetic career.
Can anyone please advise Nancy peloci? Maybe she would join him in retirement
“The 75-year-old Reid says in a statement issued by his office Friday that he wants to make sure Democrats regain control of the Senate next year”.
So I guess he is saying that he is a liability to his party. He should have retired years ago.
At least unlike arlen spector he knows when to throw in the towel
Maybe now we can open Yucca Mountain.
Good riddance
