2. As a former Golden Gloves, he is aware of the rope-a-dope.

I like Harry Reid. He is the leader of a chamber of government where his job is to herd cats, or possibly shovel water up hill.

He is doing a good job. He is dealing with a situation which is unique in governance. He doesn't always do what I would do, but when things get tough, and he sees an opening, he takes advantage of it.

I see that he is cautious, but he is also the one who has to make the call. Remember, he is a former boxer.

I would be more aggressive, but I am not the majority leader.
