pretty music there being performed. i hope you were able to hear some of it, all of you, as geoff bennett was speaking as well, and we now do expect to have leif reid, one of harry reid s sons take to the podium and offer remembrances about his father. i think we re going to listen to that and perhaps dip into that as well, because all of his children have spoken so beautifully about their father, and it s really been very, very emotional. but alaina, before we possibly get to that, let me ask you about what happened in 2010 as mitch mcconnell had said at the time that his top goal was to make barack obama a one-term president. he failed. but how did reid and white house insiders at the time see this? i think that we responded to
