...part of the capital culture and doesn't care to be. He avoids the social circuit, preferring to spend his time reading nonfiction, power walking and doing yoga (yes, yoga--four times a week). "I try to be in the background more than the foreground," he says. "And I succeed most of the time." That's because Reid knows better than most where the real work gets done...

The last Senator elected President was John F. Kennedy in 1960, a fact you are likely to read thousands of times in the next two years. No matter. Biden is officially in the race, Dodd is likely to soon announce, McCain has an endorsement list the size of some wedding parties and is now actively reaching out to get more...
