Harry Reid Promises Senate Will Hold A Vote On The DREAM Act In Lame-Duck Session - Page 2

Thank You Senator Reid. You just proved you don't care risking your political life for supporting legislation you truly believe in. Everyone let's get outthere and help out with what we can. We can DO this Dream Act 2010!

People stop saying that, after a decade this is not about politics anymore!

What does he mean by win or lose? Does this mean if DA fails, it will be gone for a long time?

I know, 2007 DEJAVU !!!!!!

If I were you guys, I wouldn't make plans according to his word. Politicians say a lot of things and make bold promises. There is nothing definite about what he said, and I wouldn't count on it passing. Just plan life accordingly.

I dont know if I am being a negative Nancy or a pessimist, but after 10 years, I think it's good to be hopeful, yet realistic and pragmatic at the same time.

Harry Reid while losing in polls to controversial Angle, already has the support from the gambling industry despite his stance on many issues not benefiting them financially, that's huge help considering that they provide 17+% of jobs and over a third of the budget for Nevada, they just benefit from having the third most powerful democrat in the house and its their gamble, plus for a state with the largest unemployment in the country it benefits him not only to have his hands tied to projects that have large employee populations but also the support of people with the financial means of ensuring the economy does not make those projects into failures and more unemployment.

As for him confirming that the DA will come up to vote, it is a very risky move, it may seem to cost him the election, but his opponent already has many controversial ads against him and his stance on immigration, might as well accept them as fact, attack substance of the ads that are too extreme from what would actually be the case and hope that because the ads are very controversial it will end up hurting the opponent more then it hurts him.

I really don't know but this stance really churns the waters, its risky but could work, and it peaks my interest in the Nevada election. Its just good news to hear that the DA will come up in lame duck, I am hoping this means as a stand alone and not only an attachment to the CIR.

Thank You Senator Reid!!

But unfortunately the Dream Act is NOT going to pass, because those REPUBLICANS will say no again.

I really don't think he needs DA to get a bigger turn out from Latinos. If they don't turn out after seeing all of Angle's ads and her position on immigration, they won't turn out for anything. That's just my opinion tho.

You read my mind.

I'm not entirely sure introducing the DreamAct is necessarily a 'bad' thing for Senator Reid. The DreamAct, according to this poll (Q.27 ) seems to be quite a popular piece of legislation in Nevada.
