#1 Asked for his reaction to Reid's "miracle" remark, former President Bill Clinton glanced longingly at a nearby Senate intern and said, "I belive in miracles. Where you from, you sexy thing?"

#2 Jim Manley, spokesman for Mr. Reid, noted that his boss "also said he believes in miracles. As a small-town boy from Searchlight, Nevada, who rose to become Democratic leader of the U.S. Senate, Senator Reid has shown that we can overcome the odds and is certain that we can win back the Senate," Mr. Manley said.

Did he raise among his constituents by telling them he knew what was better for them than they knew themselves, that the few should rule the many, that their personal beliefs in morality and family were bigoted, that the people existed to support the state? Somehow I don't think so. So why does he champion these principles now? Maybe because they are the principles of the "Democratic" Party at the national level, where he sits as Minority Leader in the Senate. And that's why regaining the Senate becomes more and more difficult. Your product does not sell well enough to alter that.

#3 The real miracle was Reid's last election. He won by 400 votes.

#4 When asked when that might be, he mumbled something that sounded like "2040" and headed straight for the bar.

Hey! Wait for me!
