One of the problems with our Senate leaders, both Reid and Daschle before him, is that they both came from red states, and thus need to keep some semblance of moderation/centrism to assure their own re-elections. However, it does no good when the leader of the Democratic party is stressing centrism, while the Republicans are stressing far-right stances on issues. We need a Majority Leader who is a progressive and will present the progressive side of the issue, safe with the knowledge that his left-leaning constituents will support him.
