...considerable success in local elections--and not just their stunning successes at the gubernatorial level. Since 2004 they have also won control of the Montana senate and both houses of the Colorado legislature. And the region's Democrats will throw disproportionate weight in the 2008 presidential selection process. Nevada will hold caucuses in the first week of the presidential campaign, having poked its way into the schedule between the traditional battles in Iowa and New Hampshire. A few weeks later, on Feb. 5, there will be a Rocky Mountain regional primary, with three states--New Mexico, Arizona and Utah--participating...
...Romer in Colorado and Bruce Babbitt in Arizona. Colorado had two well-known Democratic Senators, Gary Hart and Tim Wirth, in the 1980s. There were legendary Democrats from the region like Arizona's Mo Udall and Colorado's Patricia Schroeder serving in Congress.

He also understands the weird chronology of presidential politics, the patience needed to last through interminable house parties and candidate forums, the fierce compression of time that will take place a year from now when Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina spin through their elections in a matter of weeks. "But his greatest strength is playing hurt," says James Carville. "You just can't go through one of these things without making mistakes, and there is no politician I know who has handled tough times better...
...most important punch to learn in boxing--not because it delivers a knockout but for the damage it does in a long bout. The Nevada Senator has also called the President a liar, a loser and "King George." But with the slimmest possible majority (51 to 49) in a chamber where he needs at least nine Republicans to get anything difficult done--60 votes being what it takes to get past a filibuster and 67 to override a veto--the real test of Reid's leadership will be more about finesse.
