Following my lead, the Las Vegas Sun and Las Vegas City Life questioned what Harry Reid' warchest of $25 million will mean in the next election. (Sun, City Life)
Granted, $25 mil is an incredible sum for a state election. Money is good for making sure the public remembers your name, but how much good will it do if the public already remembers your name and it leaves a bad taste in their mouths when they do?
The way I see it is, Harry Reid has one strength to run on. He's the Senate Majority Leader. Yucca Mountain "no longer being viewed as a viable repository for nuclear waste" in March will probably help him in this regard.
This, however is not what's going to help him the most. The biggest beast in his corner is the GOP's inability to produce a stronger candidate. If they were able to find a capable local who wanted the job, Reid would be in trouble. Republicans from all over the country would be throwing dollars our way just to get the guy out of office.
If that were the case, and the Republicans had some sort of secret weapon, money would mean relatively little with a 30-something percent approval rating and his ability to constantly draw fire from both sides, Nevadans are just looking for an excuse to chuck the guy out.
That being said, I want to thank everybody for commenting so deliciously on Friday's post, and I encourage you to keep it going on today's. Everyone knows I'd appoint my horse a senator before voting for Harry, so I want to know, are there any Reid supporters in the audience? I'm not looking for someone to ridicule, I just want to know what people see in the guy.
