There are at least 55 members in the Senate Democratic caucus. Reid should not have promised filibuster reform if he couldn't deliver. He shouldn't be the "Leader" if he cannot get his troops to follow his lead. He failed big time, and we'll be paying for his failure for the entire term of the 113th Congress. The failure is his and his alone... I don't want to hear word the first about GOP Senate obstruction from Reid for the term of this Congress.
