Looks like Crybaby Reid and Shelly Berkley found the right price of getting Byron Georgiou out of the Nevada U.S. Senate race.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Las Vegas businessman Byron Georgiou today dropped out of the U.S. Senate race after enduring public criticism from the leader of his party and a cold shoulder from contributors who had turned to Democratic heir apparent U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev.
Georgiou, who vowed to run an outsiders campaign against the Washington, D.C. establishment—both Republicans and Democrats—issued a brief statement this morning.
“I continue to believe that my background and experience well qualify me to serve in the Senate,” he said. “However, at this time, I have concluded that I can more effectively contribute to resolution of the serious economic issues facing our state and nation through my work in the private sector.”
Georgiou, a Democrat, entered the U.S. Senate race early, shortly after concluding his service on a federal commission that investigated the collapse of the financial industry. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had appointed him to that panel. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/aug/10/georgiou-abandons-us-senate-bid-clears-way-berkley/
If the Nevada GOP was smart, they would run 1 or 2 fake Democrats in the Senate primary race just to tease Berkley just a little bit and make things more interesting, especially up north where Berkley is not well known.
