From the LV Sun: Clinton drove his point home. “That’s the kind of thing you do if you make decisions when you’re mad,” he said. “To blow the other guy’s hand off, you blow yourself up. Why would you give away the Senate majority leader who has delivered time and time and time again for the people of Nevada?”
Aimed squarely at the Tea Party movement and the anti-incumbent fervor animating American politics, Clinton’s speech comes at a crucial time for Reid, who has failed to shore up his base as he enters what promises to be a rough-and-tumble campaign for re-election. Facing only nominal opposition in his primary last week, Reid won just 75 percent of the Democratic vote, with 11 percent casting ballots for “none of these candidates.”
Public opinion polling confirms the problem in the general election. In a poll conducted for the Las Vegas Review-Journal this month, Reid won 73 percent of Democrats in a head-to-head matchup against his Republican opponent, former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, who has a tighter grip on her base. The survey found Reid failing to reach 50 percent in Clark County, the state’s Democratic stronghold, and splitting unaffiliated voters with Angle. The result: a dead heat. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/jun/13/political-memo/
Harry Reid is in trouble and he asks Bill Clinton to help him in his campaign. My guess is that we will not see President Obama in Nevada anytime between now and November.
Shoot, if I were Sharron Angle, I would invite Harry Reid to come to campaign for Reid.
Harry Reid is going to run far away from his record, especially his record in the last two years. If he ran on his record, he would be lucky to get 40% of the vote and we have a new senator. The only way Reid wins is he continues to lie and to promise more money for Nevada. My guess, it will be his lies that will give him his best chance to win. That and Bill Clinton.
