Reid on Clinton: 'She's the best'

DENVER – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) has asked U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) to deliver the Democrats’ weekly radio address and she has accepted, Reid told a meeting of the Nevada delegation this morning.

Reid used his brief remarks at the breakfast meeting to heap praise on Clinton, who narrowly failed in her bid to capture the nomination. On Wednesday, Clinton released her delegates to the party’s newly minted presidential nominee, Barack Obama.

“She’s the best,” Reid said of Clinton.

With Reid delivering his convention speech Wednesday, the majority leader indicated he was ready to let the McCain-bashing fall into the hands of the campaign.

“I know longer have to be the attack dog,” Reid said. “That’s up to others.”
