Reid throws down

I must be having a low-biorhythm day. First I fall for that stupid Winnebago trick. And now, Ben Smith writes that Harry Reid is signalling that Burris will indeed be unacceptable to him.

Pretty surprisingly gutsy on Reid's part if true. I'd have thought -- and more to the point, it's obvious that Blago would've thought -- that Reid and his leadership could not refuse a black man. This is unfolding in a really interesting way.
