Harry Reid, Rainmaker?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid insists he's got the whole Democratic race under control. Here's a conversation he had with the Las Vegas Review-Journal last week:

Question: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?
Reid: Easy.
Q: How is that?
Reid: It will be done.
Q: It just will?
Reid: Yep.
Q: Magically?
Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.

What? "Things are being done"?

For the record, I asked the Clinton campaign if it knew what Reid was talking about. It didn't. Its response, from top Clinton aide Harold Ickes: "This process needs to play out. There are a number states left to vote." I'll call Reid's office next.

Thanks Jonathon. I can't imagine what he means when he says "things are being done" - are they trying to influence one of the campaigns to step down? Is it something to do with MI and FL? Are they changing the number you have to reach to get the nomination? Hope you get some answers.
