Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid maintained that his party’s candidates lead “virtually all over the country,” rejecting polls that undermine that claim as compromised by bad methodology.
“We’re ahead virtually all over the country,” Reid replied during a Senate briefing when asked about a Pew poll showing that the current political environment is more hostile towards Democrats than in 2010. “I don’t need to run through the states with you, but, we’re doing okay.”
Reid said recent polls aren’t reliable because pollsters can’t get in touch with a lot of voters who use cellphones.
…Nobody in this thing of ours ever actually learns anything from watching what happens to the Other Side, do they? Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, they calmly watched us screw up by the numbers in 2012 when it came to polling, tittering behind their hands all the while at our foolishness – but the second that the same pollsters start telling ’em what they want to hear? Boom! Clearly the whole thing is skewed.
Depressingly, I suppose that this means that we’re going to get smacked around by the same problem. Just… not this year.

Someone needs to form a Get Out The Vote organization that can send e-mails to prospective Democrat donors and voters:
Thank you for your support! Your generous contributions have put the Democratic Party so far ahead of the Republicans that we have no need of further fundraising efforts. Victory is within our grasp! Here is Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) with the good news:
[ Smug, self-congratulatory video here ]
Remember — You’ve done your part! We’re going to win! Now all we have to do is wait for the election returns and celebrate our victories!
Wait for the election returns, or wait to publish the pre-determined election returns? Perhaps Harry knows a thing or two about elections…
How to steal them, anyway …

No, this is just another confirmation that there’s something seriously wrong with Harry Reid.
