UPDATE: 1:32 p.m. --Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who is not exactly a Romney fan, threw cold water later Friday on the idea that Romney will be able to easily work with Democrats in the upper chamber.
"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," he said in a statement. "In fact, Mitt Romney’s Tea Party agenda has already been rejected in the Senate ... Senate Democrats are committed to defending the middle class, and we will do everything in our power to defend them against Mitt Romney’s Tea Party agenda."
