Nate Silver breaks down Harry Reid's job as majority leader of the Senate. Essentially, the Republicans have been using procedural filibusters (quorum calls) more and more, and actual filibusters (Strom Thurmond speaking for 24 hours straight) less. Harry Reid has been ineffective at making Senate Republicans look bad, or forcing a vote.
Per ch. 9 of Brownstein, it's possible Reid is being too nice.
