isl aisle since his passing. yefjeff, you were in nevada s weekend, and it would not be president obama without harry reid. that is possible. president obama spoke about this directly at the memorial service on saturday in las vegas as he gave the eulogy there. and you know, the former staffers as well. he had relationships across the aisle, but it was the early conversation in the spring of 2006 with the freshman senator barack obama that there was a changing sense, largely because of the iraq war. if you think about it at the time, hillary clinton was running, joe biden was running,
