How Safe is Reid's Leadership Post?
While Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) may have fended off a tough reelection challenge, there has been growing chatter about the safety of his position as majority leader.

First Read: "Despite his big win last night, is Harry Reid's position in leadership totally safe? On 'TODAY' this morning, he sounded as if he was trying to send a message to the Democratic incumbents who are up in 2012 that he's received a wake-up call and he can lead the Democratic Senate in these tumultuous political times. But remember: Many of the 2006 Dem Senate class have ties to Chuck Schumer."

Will the close friendship between Schumer and Reid prevent a leadership battle? Or will the urge to scapegoat win the day for Senate Democrats?
