Michael Steele: Harry Reid Should Step Down for Light-Skinned Negro Remarks

I like that Steele is saying this. It's only an issue if we force it to be an issue -- the media, of course, has no desire to whoop up on Harry Reid.

But there is a problem. Harry Reid was already basically unelectable. This makes it all the worse. What is going to happen, I fear, is that he will step aside, and that means there's a chance a charismatic, appealing candidate without so much baggage will replace him.

The Democrats do this when they're in big trouble. I can't believe that the New Jersey courts allowed a swap of Lautenberg for scandal-rocked Torricelli in the closing moments of the Senate campaign, what, four years ago? Six?

And now Chris Dodd has stepped aside in favor of the most popular politician in Connecticut.

I hope Harry Reid gets a little good news. I want him on the ballot.
