A Mason-Dixon poll shows that 49% of Nevadans have an unfavorable opinion of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reid trails the two top GOP candidates in polling by substantial margins; he trails Sue Lowden by 10 points and Danny Tarkanian by 6. Reid’s biggest problem in Nevada continues to be Reid himself.
All signs continue to point to a possible watershed moment for the GOP in 2010; just as the Republicans were able to unseat the Democratic Senate leader in 2002, it appears the same may happen next year.
Tom Daschle could have warned Harry Reid about the pitfalls of siding with the radical left when you come from a fairly conservative state.
Daschle’s South Dakota is far more conservative than Nevada, but still the state tends to trend red when the chips are down. Rick Moran at The American Thinker points out that Nevadans wish Harry Reid would tend to business at home instead of aligning with Nancy Pelosi, pushing the leftist Obama agenda.
All is not lost for Harry Reid though; if he makes sure his tax records are clean and there aren’t any other skeletons in his closet, he might just rate a cabinet or czar appointment in Obama’s Administration. Maybe that’s what he’s gunning for anyway. One reader at the American Spectator points out that Reid is far more dangerous now that he has nothing to lose. If that’s true let’s hope the voters in San Francisco stay ultra-liberal, let’s keep Nancy Pelosi safe.
