Reid’s Senate seat draws attention in D.C.

WASHINGTON -- Today’s offerings from the capital press on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s 2010 re-election in Nevada:

Roll Call asks whether Republicans are ready to go all in on the Nevada race with a second-choice challenger.

“If they don’t have somebody, why would they make that investment if the candidates are just destined to lose?” one Nevada GOP insider said Wednesday. “I’m not saying that’s the case right now, but that’s how it’s playing out. You have a lot of B-level candidates. I think they have to ask themselves if this is worthwhile.”

Meanwhile The Hill profiles Republican challenger Danny Tarkanian, the UNLV basketball player and son of the famed coach, who hopes to draw on his sports-world allies in a piece with the sub-head: It’s no slam dunk for Shark, Jr.

The only people who think Reid is going to lose are the talk radio nuts, kooks, birchers, birthers, shouters (Like talk radio icon Joe Wilson, member of neo-Klan group)and other teabagger misfits.

I don't think Senator Reid is losing sleep. We have just started. Let the Radio Rants run on. It sells a lot of gold to their listeners. LMAO

If the people of Nevada 'really' knew the 'Prince', not only would he lose by 95%, they'd probably become ill. This vile ('I just want to be on the side that's winning') excuse of public servant is guilty of participating in, and condoning so very much corruption with this Administration, it is foul. We can only hope that the only one worse in in Congress, (Mrs. Pelozi), suffers the same fate.
