 Reid and Kerry spar over party tactics: 3/ 7/ 2005
Reid and Kerry crossed swords two weeks ago at a closed-door meeting of the Senate Democratic Steering and Coordination Committee with a group of labor leaders, and while accounts vary, there's little doubt that things got tense between the new Senate Democratic leader and the party's 2004 presidential nominee.
Kerry was unhappy with the posture of the Democrats and told Reid that they needed to be far more aggressive in fighting President Bush, needed to set up what amounted to a perpetual campaign and needed a plan to prevent Bush from seizing the middle ground in the Social Security fight.
Reid responded that he had set up a campaign-style war room and taken other steps to put the Democrats in fighting mode and made it clear he wasn't going to change course just because Kerry thought something different was needed.

Reid, D-Nev., said he kicked off his campaign in January and promised it would be "as good this time as it was bad six years ago...

 CNN.com - Kerry assails Bush on planned nuclear waste dump - Aug 10, 2004
Kerry accused Bush of breaking a promise he made as a presidential candidate in 2000 to oppose the creation of a facility for nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, about 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas, unless it was scientifically safe.
While Reid joined Kerry at his Las Vegas event, Ensign issued a statement on behalf of the Bush campaign that accused Kerry of misleading state voters about his opposition to the facility.
Kerry said the campaign was pointing to "a few procedural votes," but said he has opposed "the real substance" of the plan for a decade.

Kerry voted against the project in a key vote in July 2002 that allowed the project to move forward but Ensign said by voting for the 1987 bill, Kerry helped put the state in this situation in the first place.
Kerry also voted the opposite way Reid did on six other Yucca Mountain provisions, most of which were in Senate appropriation bills, from 1987 to 1997, Ensign said.
Reid said Bush is in trouble in states he thought he was winning so these new claims are just a way to divert attention.

LAS VEGAS -- John F. Kerry accused President Bush yesterday of breaking a promise made four years ago to Nevadans to oppose storing the nation's nuclear waste in the state, as the Democratic presidential nominee repeated his own opposition in hopes of winning Nevada's five electoral votes in November.
Kerry proposed leaving and guarding radioactive material at nuclear facilities where it is currently stored until a long-term solution is found.
