Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is taking matters into his own hands.
He's run a scorched-earth campaign from the start, but until now, Reid has rarely been the mouthpiece for the attacks, preferring to leave it to his staff, surrogates and campaign ads.
Not anymore.
The 70-year-old Democrat, once not much more visible than the opponent he derided for hiding from the media, is suddenly everywhere, and he's on the offensive.
He derided his Republican opponent, Sharron Angle, as "radical," "dangerous" and "embarrassing to the state of Nevada," in a Thursday interview with MSNBC's Ed Schultz.
At an appearance earlier in the week, he asked the crowd, "Have you noticed that every time my opponent screws up, which is quite often, she goes into her bunker? ... If you can't talk to the media while you're running for the United States Senate, you shouldn't be running for the United States Senate."
At another stop, he mocked her views of the separation of church and state: "If my opponent wants to run on her constitutional expertise, she should at least know what's in it," he jabbed.
The turning point seems to have come with Reid's widely panned performance in his sole debate with Angle earlier this month. On the debate stage, the closest he came to a dig was to say, with a bemused look, "These ideas of my opponent are really extreme." It was Angle's forced but punchy "Man up, Harry Reid" that became the takeaway sound bite.

Creepiest politician I have ever seen. Reminds me of a zombie or a used up vampire. Sometimes I really wish I had Photoshop skills.
Pronunciation #2 implies insanity.
Both apply to "Dingy Harry" Reid.
Zombie or vampire works. For me it’s a funeral director. But there’s a constant theme of death that surrounds this piece of excrement.
I guess this is Harry’s version of “manning up.”
Of course, real men don’t whine and they don’t lie.
It’s Halloween. I’ve always preferred Ichabod Crain.
Have you been looking in my widows again???
Come late night on Nov 2 if it’s close reid wins cause he is the vegas mobs man.
He is for Reid?
