Looks like the story is getting legs.

Amazing. I would've thought the MSM would have a news blackout about this. Even AP is hitting Reid hard.

I faxed Hastert, Boehner, Lugar & Sodrel yestereday and demanded that they not let this guy get a pass on this. That they had no body to blame but themselves for the position that the Republican party was in for this years election. The Dems would not let a Republican get by with a parking ticket, let a lone anything even close to this.

The story may have legs, but I doubt it influences the elections much at all. Congressional election cycles are all about "politics is local" and "what have you done for me lately". Reid isn't up for re-election and can't even taint the Senator who IS up for re-election in Nevada, since they are from opposite parties. People in Minnesota or Maryland aren't going to give a rat's petard if Reid was engaged in a shady land deal when it comes down to which candidate they vote for.
As with the Foley thing, the only people up in arms- and willing to exert the energy to get that way- are the people who are already rabid political types. The votes of such people aren't going to change radically anyway. No pro-abortion, anti-war, screaming lesbian is going to change her vote to Republican because Harry Reid made 1.1 million on some land in Nevada.
The only time this will matter is after the elections when the party sits down to decide who should be in the leadership. If the story is still a big deal then it might affect Reid's chances at retaining his leadership.

I heard on a call in show yesterday that the county commission that changed the zoning making the property so valuable had Reid's son on it.....

Could it be this Philly paper was the one sold to private investors a few months back?
If so, maybe this paper is trying to be less partison, viewing Democrats with a critical eye?
Maybe bucking for more educated readers?

I hope this story will get legs. Seems slow getting started.

Finally, guess the FBI didn't find anything in the Weldon raid, so it's back to Dirty Harry the real crook.
