Berkley Loses Dem Challenger

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.

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.
