Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has very little support back home in Nevada.
From the Politico
There’s no GOP challenger on the horizon, but another Nevada poll is showing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) very, very vulnerable back home.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal/Mason-Dixon poll found that 45 percent of Nevada voters would “definitely” vote against Reid next year — with only 30 percent saying they want to see him return to office.
What’s curious here is that Nevada voters seem to view Reid through the negative prism of his role as a congressional leader, not as the bring-home-the-bacon guy he portrays when he’s back in the desert.
Another alarm bell is his support among independents, which has fallen to 30 percent.
The other bad sign for Reid is that voters — divided sharply along party lines — aren’t bullish on the stimulus, which isn’t having much of an impact on the state’s worst-in-the-nation foreclosure crisis, fueled by years of outlandish hypergrowth and a housing price bubble, especially in Las Vegas.
This would be great news for the Republicans but they need a candidate first.

3 Comments for Support for Reid in Nevada Tanks
GOOD MORNING, NEVADA.
SO GLAD TO SEE YOU FINALLY WOKE UP AND
SMELLED THE COFFEE. NOW, IF ONLY
CA WILL WAKE UP TO PELOSI.
What is odd here is that the GOP has rarely tried to unseat Reid, mainly due to mass corruption in Vegas and Reno, not to mention legal prostitution. Therefore the attempts have been at best half hearted.
There is quite a lot of corruption in the two largest cities who tie the hands of Prosecutors by powerful interests in the casinos; anyone who really wanted to clean up that state would become very unpopular. But now that there is suffering in the casino’s, perhaps now would be a good time for a changing of the guard, so to speak and more tolerant of someone else. Or just maybe they are tired of Reid and his constant unwillingness to change his hate speech.
Even a Gallup poll recently showed than people who vote democrat are getting sick of the “Blame Bush” constant onslaught, even though they do not like Bush, they are just plain tired of EVERYTHING on earth being blamed on him, even the weather (Seattle Times).
I was told that Harry Reid once smiled in 1977 when he met his homosexual partner, (supposedly Posted on the Daily Kos).
Personally I would dearly love to see “anyone” but Reid take over the seat.
This is just more of the same-old-same-old “us versus them” mentality.
Rather than getting the right “person” for the job – today, it’s all about getting the right “Democrat” or the right “Republican” for the job.
“Party” and “winning” – - and let the “common good” be damned!
