From the Reno Gazette-Journal: Yet he (Byron Georgiou) also spoke about his falling out with Senate Majority Harry Reid and mentioned there may be a possibility that he would run as a non-partisan candidate in the 2012-election cycle.
There are some people who have suggested that I should do just that," Georgiou said about running as a non-partisan. "Right now, I am running as an independent Democrat but I am not precluding anything else in the future."
The Georgiou and Reid saga is one of a broken alliance. Reid appointed Georgiou to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in 2009 but voiced regrets for the appointment last month, saying that Georgiou had misled him about his past.

If Georgiou runs, Berkley is done. And after Crybaby Reid completely threw Georgiou under the bus and Crybaby Reid basically defamed him, I don't blame Georgiou for considering a third party run. Georgiou has the money to run as a 3rd candidate, so he is quite viable as a candidate.
Georgiou does have support of some Nevada liberals who are pissed at Reid and Berkley for being soft on liberal issues. http://www.lasvegasgleaner.com/las_vegas_gleaner/2011/07/capitulation-we-can-believe-in.html
So, if Georgiou does run, say good bye to Shelly Berkley.
