…The Las Vegas Sun imagines a Romney White House and a Reid-led Senate and asks: could Reid and Romney ever hope to forge a working relationship in DC?
The consensus answer among Nevada insiders and those familiar with the inner workings of Reid World is…maybe:
“…Democratic insiders were fairly certain that Reid, even if offered enticing trade-offs, would not be open to dealmaking that might pare back the healthcare or financial reform bills. And they were equally adamant that Reid would not agree to back off his insistence that tax increases be part of a package to avoid the fiscal cliff, at any price.
More likely, both Republicans and Democrats surmised, Reid’s horse-trading instincts would surface in policy areas that were under-addressed in the last Congress, such as a comprehensive energy bill, or on education.”
