WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is apologizing for a comment he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 campaign.
In a book set to be published Monday, Reid is quoted as describing Obama as "light skinned" and speaking "with no Negro dialect."
Excerpts from the book "Game Change," by Time Magazine's Mark Halperin and New York magazine's John Heilemann, were reported on the Web site of The Atlantic.
In a statement released today, Reid calls the comments "a poor choice of words" that he deeply regrets. He offers apologies to "any and all Americans, especially African-Americans."
Reid is facing a tough re-election campaign this year. A Las Vegas Review Journal survey out today shows him trailing former state Republican party chairwoman Sue Lowden by 10 points, 50 percent to 40 percent. More than half of those polled said they had an unfavorable opinion of Reid, while just a third held a favorable opinion.
He is sinking faster than the Titanic.
