Democrats in the Senate are worried in the wake of their leader Sen. Harry Reid's shady land deal, that the full details of his relationship with lobbyist Jack Abramoff will soon come to light.
"Their relationship has been the elephant in the room, as it were, for months," says one Democratic staffer, whose boss aspires to a higher leadership position. "Some of the Democratic senators think that Reid's ties to Abramoff are why we haven't made more about the scandal than we have."
