TODD: I have nearly a dozen Democrats, Senator Schumer– a dozen Democrats– who are saying, you know what, I would like somebody else different than Harry Reid. Is Harry Reid bigger than the majority?

SCHUMER: I say that Harry Reid will run for majority leader and he will win with an overwhelming — probably very close to a majority vote.
