Politics & Poker: Will Any Democrats Call for Reid to Go? - Roll Call

Politics & Poker: Will Any Democrats Call for Reid to Go? - Roll Call: "It’s no small irony that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) latest foot-in-mouth episode came during advance publicity for a new book about the 2008 presidential campaign called “Game Change.” Because it’s a game change that the Democrats desperately need now after an avalanche of bad political news over the past several weeks.

But it’s hard to see just when the game-changer will come and where it will come from. If Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) hangs on and wins the Bay State’s special Senate election a week from today — no foregone conclusion — Democrats will breathe a sigh of relief, but that hardly qualifies as a game-changer. This was one rare 2010 race that the Democrats weren’t supposed to sweat.

What else is ahead on the political horizon that could be good news for the Democrats? How about final passage of a health care reform bill?"
