Harry Reid Implies Kennedy's Death an Advantage for Democrats

Harry Reid blows up the spot for his fellow Dems in an interview with the Reno Gazette. They intend to use the death of Ted Kennedy as just so much political capital. Fact is, Teddy would probably approve. It's just that Reid has such a way with words...

Q: How will U.S. Sen. (Edward) Kennedy's death affect things?

A: I think it's going to help us. He hasn't been around for some time. We More..'re going to have a new chairman of that committee, it'll be, I don't know for sure, but I think Sen. (Chris) Dodd, (D-Conn.). He has a right to take it. Either him or (U.S. Sen. Tom) Harkin, (D-Iowa), whichever one wants it can have it. I think he (Kennedy) will be a help. He's an inspiration for us. That was the issue of his life and he didn't get it done.
