Some interesting comments.
From where I sit, it seems that the Democrats made a major concession in forswearing the future use of the filibuster against judicial nominees except in extraordinary circumstances.
Previously, their position was that they would and could continue to filibuster the nominees at will. They were obviously forced to make some deal with the Republicans because they would have preferred to keep things just the way they were, without the pressure of the nuclear option in the background.
Reid is right that Democrats can't win just by appealing to urban voters. Beyond that, I part company with him. I hope he meets the same fate as his predecessor.
