As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid struggles to pass a health care bill in Washington and his polling numbers in Nevada continue to tank, there’s another aggravation he can’t seem to escape — the Las Vegas Review-Journal and its publisher, Sherman Frederick.
Frederick has called Reid a “political corpse,” said a visit by President Barack Obama to Nevada earlier this year “was only to try to stop Nevadans from bouncing their unpopular senior Sen. Harry Reid in 2010” and suggested that “Reid’s power so far has done more for Reid personally than it has for Nevadans as a whole.” A recent Frederick blog post openly mocked Reid’s reelection theme: “Isn’t the slogan ‘Harry Reid — independent like Nevada’ libelous as hell?”
The antipathy emanating from “the RJ,” as it’s known, which has a daily circulation of 175,000 readers and is far and away the largest newspaper in the state, is another obstacle Reid faces in trying to balance his responsibilities as Senate leader with his efforts to boost his popularity in Nevada enough to win a fifth term next year. The combative Reid, however, has not been shy about firing back, telling an RJ advertising exec at a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce meeting in August that he hoped “you go out of business.”

Wellhe LOOKS like a political corps and he ACTS like a political corpse, and I HOPE he’s a political corpse but what about our his dear frinds at ACORN? ACORN seems to have the capability of making corpses rise from the dead.
ACORN friends seem to have the miraculous ability of making corpses rise from the dead.
There that's better...sorry I did not proofread, how embarrasing
I live on AZ side of the COlorado River, Laughlin, NV is a stone’s throw away. Two of my non political Nevada friends asked me how to register to vote because they wanted to vote against Harry Reid.
He just LOOKS like a plain old corpse. What a disgusting looking and sounding “man.” He always sounds like a wimpy, simpering, sniveling weasel — and acts the same way.
I just do NOT get it.
The retirees in southern Nevada. Every time the GOP runs a candidate, Reid would campaign on “the evil Republican is going to cut your Medicare/Social Security/etc” scare campaign.
And it would work. Again and again.
Reid also likes to campaign as a “social conservative” in that he supports gun rights, claims to be against abortion (but always seems to weasel a way to vote for it), and tries to come across as an upstanding Mormon boy.
It never works well, but it has worked “well enough” since the mid-90’s that Reid is re-elected.
Reid is the perfect example of what is meant when someone is called A PUKE.
The people of Nevada must vote this corrupt traitor out in 2010.
Keep the faith Nevadans, I can tell you that there will be dirt on Reid that will make your eyes cross.
