[Reid] has sent private signals to Senator Hillary Clinton and other stalwarts of the party that he "would like to" step down from his post in early 2009. Reid has not stated definitively that he will -- but he apparently prefers "whipping" the Party from behind and the side rather than serving as commander-in-chief on the Senate floor.Reid “denies it in the strongest possible sense,” but Clemmons says his sources are “impeccable.” Interesting bit of inside gossip, in any case.
What Reid is offering Senator Hillary Clinton is his total, robust support to succeed him as Senate Majority Leader if she elects not to pursue the Democratic nomination for President.

Is Harry Reid trying to subtly persuade Hillary not to run for pres? Sure looks that way.
