I don’t understand why you think he got paid off. What proof do you have? There are other candidates in the race who are now beating Reid.

Perhaps it was not money, but rather threats to his family and himself of a serious nature. Many would walk away rather than die for obtaining an office. Do we know? NO.

It won’t help Reid. It will mean fewer candidates to split the anti-Reid vote.

He acknowledges that he has been unable to raise the necessary campaign contributions to mount a viable primary against a crowded field that includes former state GOP chairwoman Sue Lowden, Las Vegas businessman Danny Tarkanian and former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle.

What’s the latest on the Tea Party type who wants to run on a third party ticket?

huh? I don’t understand that statement at all. Reid is getting beat by any and all Republicans polled but only two are considered frontrunners in this race. Lowden and Tarkanian. I favor the latter.

This guy withdrawing is due to lack of funds and the fact polls show several others doing better in the primary.

Bad headline and first column of the article. This guy is a Republican, one of four (or more) and he was a long way from challenging Reid since he’d have to win the Republican nomination first.

Having 3 or 4 others ahead of him, in the race to challenge Harry, might have had something to do with it too.
