We liberals hard on politicians and mostly justifiably. And we talk a lot about how to leverage our power, "making them do it" and hitting them when they betray us, yadda, yadda, yadda. But it's important not to forget that they are human beings and for most of us doing the right thing feels good.
Reid was startled by that confrontation with Dan Choi and he made a promise I'm sure he didn't know if he could keep. But he did keep it and it wasn't easy. And I'm sure it feels good. It would be smart to figure out how to leverage that a little bit more.
