LAS VEGAS -- As if Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) didn't have enough problems, say hello to Rory Reid, his eldest son. Looks just like him. He's running for governor of Nevada. This Story
It will be Reid and Reid atop the November ballot in this state, the father running for his sixth term, the son making his first bid at statewide office. So far, this double bill is not going so great. Each candidate is dragging down the other, to look at the polls and listen to the Silver State's political oddsmakers. And neither is mentioning the other's campaign.
The elder Reid, 70, is fighting for his political survival. He has been a fixture in the state for 40 years, and he's worried that the last thing voters want is a Reid dynasty. He's already badly trailing two Republican candidates who haven't even hit 50 percent in name recognition.

Rory is as dirty as them come.
Everywhere you look at water grabs in Nevada, Rory’s face is just around the corner.
I’d hope so. Reid is to Nevada what the Kennedy clan is to the northeast. They’re a political mob, with their fingers in all sorts of nooks and crannies of the state and local governments.
Like this one?
You’d think the Mob wouldn’t sit for that sort of competition.
It isn’t called “The Mormon Mafia” for no reason.
Easy fix, Harry will announce that he will not run very soon.
