Blood in the Water: Harry Reid's Senate Majority Leader Job

Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin are jockeying for position in anticipation of Harry Reid losing his re-election bid as Nevada's senator and position as Senate Majority Leader. Even MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell seems to sense the inevitable possibility.

Andrea Mitchell: "There's been no funeral yet. The body is still warm. But they do want to each jockey for position."

The Real Clear Politics poll average has Reid losing by 11 points to likely Republican opponent Sue Lowden.
