No love for Harry Reid on the Tea Party Express Posted: September 1st, 2009 09:49 AM ET
From CNN All Platform Journalist Jim Spellman
Las Vegas, NEVADA (CNN) — As the Tea Party Express rolls out of Las Vegas, there is at least one person who may be glad to see it go: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"There's been kind of an underground gathering of opponents of Harry Reid," said Mark Williams, one of the organizers of the cross country conservative caravan that is making its way towards Washington.
Williams says that dislike of the Nevada Democrat is one of the key factors that is driving people to come out to the five Nevada stops on the tour. With Reid not being up for election until 2010, Williams says people are using the tea parties to come together and vent their frustration with the state's senior senator.
Protesters at a tea party event in Sparks, Nevada drew a rather unflattering caricature of the senator and taped it to the door of a port-a-pottie.
In Winnemucca, Nevada Deborah Johns, another tour organizer, won big applause when she brought up Reid.
"It's time to let Harry Reid know it's time to go back to searchlight," she said, referring to Reid's hometown in Nevada. "When he gets there the lights are going to be out."
In Las Vegas, Kareann Harris came out with a sign that read, "Harry wants Vegas Unemployed" on one side and "Las Vegas Wants Harry Unemployed" on the other.

Any accurate drawing would be unflattering.
Look what they have done to our nation; look what Harry Reid has done to Las Vegas!
If you want a good job, vote Republican. If you want diminishing hand-outs, vote Democrat.
Good, dump the chump Nevada!
I read the CNN account. It was surprisingly reported with no obama/ reid slant.
hmmmm
has a light bulb gone off in some media?
Reid is a has-been soon to be flushed out come late 2010. Cya.
