harry reid's devotion to landra is legendary. perhaps it was her enormous role in his life and utter respect for her as a partner that ceded his unspoken yet strong commitment to women's leadership. maybe it was the role that his mother played raising him out of extreme poverty in searchlight, nevada. whatever the motivation, the results speak for themselves. growing up in searchlight harry reid was given a nickname, pinky. i'm not sure what it referred to and i actually don't think he particularly liked it. but as senator reid lies in state in our nation's capitol this week, this woman, who benefited from his mentorship, and guidance will believe that perhaps that nickname was a premonition of his role in changing the face of leadership in nevada and this country. we all know that senator reid was infamous for not saying goodbye. i, myself, was a recipient of that dial tone on many occasions. but those occasions were because he never failed to pick up the phone when i called for advice. i will miss those phone calls but i will t

that dean did not know harry reid's character. like others who would later underestimate the man, hardship had forged a steel in harry, a fighting spirit that explained his success in the boxing ring, despite being significantly undersized. he liked to talk about his boxing. you know, barack, i wasn't a great athlete. i wasn't big and strong like some of the guys i went up against. i had two things going for me. i could take a punch, and i never gave up. that's about right. and that same dogged determination marked harry reid's political career. he lost his first senate race by just 600 votes. six months later he ran for mayor of this town and lost in a landslide. but harry did not give up. he got himself a seat in the house, then the senate. finally became senate majority leader. and let's face it, he enjoyed every minute of proving daughters wrong again, and again and again. sometimes the people who motivate us the most harry would later say, are the ones who believe in us the least. so, yes, being tough, being a fighter, was on
