LAS VEGAS (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says it would be dangerous for Republican John McCain to be in the White House because of his temper.

The Nevada Democrat who earlier stated, "I can't stand John McCain," said his opinion of the Arizona senator is based on 26 years experience serving with him in Congress.

He said, quoting now, "I just think he doesn't have the temperament to be president."

Reid made his comments during a taping of a public affairs show.

Reid says McCain is not who he portrays himself to be. He says McCain is not a maverick, rather a clone of George Bush who has voted with him 95% of the time.

Asked if he thought it would be dangerous to let McCain be president, Reid said, "That's right."

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is considered a front-runner for the 2008 race, but does McCain have the temperament to be president?


As portrayed by the mainstream media, McCain is an engaging war hero, a man of political moderation positioned between the left and the right.



But to insiders who know him, McCain has an irrational, explosive side that make many of them question whether he is fit to serve as president and be commander in chief.


Nowhere is that sentiment stronger than in the Senate, where McCain has few friends or supporters. In fact, when McCain ran for the Republican nomination for president in 2000, only four Republican senators endorsed him.



"I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues," said former Senator Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican who served with McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on Republican policy committees. "He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that."
