I've never been so excited for a state election. I've mention Harry Reid's reported war chest of $25 million he plans on using to get reelected. Now, the RJ reports a PAC has formed whose soul purpose is to raise enough money to get Senator Reid out of office.
The RJ cites Nevada Activist Chuck Muth, co-founder of the Dump Reid PAC, as saying he's comfortable Reid's opposition will only need to raise about $5 million to come out on top.
$5 mil. is certainly a lot of money, but certainly doable, as there are a myriad of outside sources eager to see Harry Reid gone from the position of Senate Majority Leader.
That being said, the reason I'm so excited to see the outcome of Nevada's next senatorial election has little to do with wanting Reid out of office and everything to do with seeing which is more powerful. Ried's astronomic wallet or the true opinion of Nevada voters.
If one is to believe reports, Reid supporters are in the minority- something previous posts on this blog have corobborated. It seems the only way Reid could pull out a win is to really step up his campaigning telling Nevadans his accomplishments while in office (crickets chirping) or to utterly shred his competition's integrity. Both of which can be done easily with healthy financial backing.
So, today's question: Do you think vocal conservatives can defeat the quiet, yet rich, liberals? We've all seen that money can be the deciding factor in an election. Is having $20 million more than the other guy enough to completly railroad the competition?
