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.

And neither is mentioning the other's campaign.

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.

You’d think the Mob wouldn’t sit for that sort of competition.

It isn’t called “The Mormon Mafia” for no reason.
