Nevada Voters Want To Retire Harry Reid

There are really two Harry Reids. In Washington DC, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is one of the nation's most powerful Democrats (even though he gives Nancy Pelosi the creeps).Through his leadership the senate has passed many of the Democratic party plans that are putting a foot on the neck of American's civil liberties.

Then there is the Nevada Harry Reid. The one that is supposed to represent the people of Nevada, a "purple state." What the Nevada voters have seen lately is a party leader that puts the progressive priorities of his party in front of the needs and wants of his home state.

The Nevada Harry Reid, who will be seeking a fifth term in office November 2010, is trailing possible Republican challengesr Danny Tarkanian, son of the legendary Jerry Tarkanian, former basketball coach at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and Sue Lowden, the Nevada Republican Party chairwoman and a former state senator.

One poll released today, suggests that if the elec

Even if the only race the GOP wins on election day is that one (it won’t be) it will be well worth it.

Nevada Voters Want To Retire Harry Reid

Yeah?? How bad???

I'll believe this when I see it!!

The same poll found Lowden and Tarkanian neck-and-neck for the Republican nomination. 25 percent of Nevada Republicans prefer Lowden, compared to 24 percent for Tarkanian. Nevada Assemblywoman Sharron Angle (R) gets 13 percent of the primary vote, while 33 percent of state GOP voters are undecided.

This is the real stickler--who runs against Harry. Sue has the political experience and savvy, but represents the "establishment". Tark has the youth and pizzazz and can bring in the wishy-washy "I'll vote for him cuz he's cute!" vote, but lacks any real political experience. Sharron is a hard right-winger and needs to decide who she's going to throw her support behind because she's not going to win the primary (I don't say this disparagingly; Sharron is a good family friend). It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Nevada the new California.

Harry Reid needs to be sent back to the little hole in Nevada he came from!

Unfortunately, Nevada is becoming a liberal cesspool in many ways just like California.

I have to laugh at the poor soles in Nevada. Go ahead, vote for Reid and you idiots, you got what you wanted. But you in Nevada are not on the bottom yet, it's coming. So enjoy the fruits of your stupid ignorant leader Reid. We in California had idiots for generations and we bottomed our in the billions and going down, down, down and our idiots still vote for crap. Sorry, but reality is a hard bitter pill to get down.

Let me announce that there is a book in production based in part on insider revelations about Reid that are going to rock the Nevada race in early January. Anyone with Harry Reid stories, please contact me.

I think I’m throwing in with Sue because she will be able to raise sufficient funds. Maybe we set Tark up for Ensign’s seat.

Money is the practical problem at the moment.
