Dina Titus to colleagues: Harry Reid is ‘done’

Clearly worried about the political landscape heading into the fall elections, Democratic Rep. Dina Titus tells colleagues Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is “done,” Politico is reporting today.

“Reid is done; he’s going to lose” in November, Titus said during a closed door meeting last week with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and colleagues, according to Politico. The paper cites three people in the room who heard the comment.

Titus denied that she had singled out Reid, Politico said.

But she acknowledged that she said Democrats would be “f—-ed” if they failed to heed the lessons of Massachusetts, where Republican Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat last week, the paper reported.

The frank talk is sure to add a new dimension to the Reid-Titus relationship.

Titus spoke to Reid last night and denied making the comment.

The majority leader accepted her explanation, a Reid aide said.

“They have had a good relationship for years and he takes her at her word,” said Reid spokesman Jon Summers.

The two have a frosty history, especially after Reid did not appear to give his robust support for her failed campaign for governor. But they had appeared to have patched up their differences as Titus unseated a Republican congressman in 2008 and came to Washington.
