An entire campaign in one mail piece for Harry Reid

Related files

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is powerful, determined, close to the president, helped elevate an Hispanic to the Supreme Court, saved jobs in the gaming industry, supported green jobs with T. Boone Pickens, backs the military, loves and helps cops and backs education. And on the seventh day....

That's the message of a massive, colorful mail piece sent out by the state Democratic Party, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Harry Reid re-election campaign, that arrived in mailboxes this weekend. "Powerful. Determined. Making a Difference for Nevada." That's the theme, and from Justice Sonia Sotomayor to President Obama to Harrah's executive Jan Jones to City Center workers to teachers and cops, the mailer has the pictures (and now-familiar rhetoric) to make the case.

I have posted a black and white copy of it at right.

Discussion: 8 comments so far...

  1. Jan Jones and Jim Murren are terrified that Reid will turn on the gaming industry. Even Steve Wynn, in his harange of the Obama administration, exempts Reid from his criticism call him a "conservative" Democrat. Look again, Steve. Who's driving the bus on the health care vote upcoming in the Senate???

  2. Jon, with these talk-radio crazies out there, you should have blanked out your address.

    The mailer would have been better if it included a coupon for a free pizza.

  3. Hey, I didn't get mine!!
    I fully support REID and am ecstatic that he is driving the Health Care bill in the Senate, he is listening to his constituents and realizes this is an historic opportunity not just for him but for ALL Dems. Yes, some ppl are squawking and angry right now but in a few years they will using it just like everyone else and wondering what took so long, just like social security and medicare.
    REID for 2010!

  4. Oh, yea John, you will get yours... And not only will you be getting yours, you and and the rest of us will be paying for it for decades to come.

    I am giddy that you are ecstatic about Harry...

  5. Are Nevadans that naive? When Harry first talked about his upcoming election troubles, he didn't tout his accomplishments and make more promises.

    What did he say? He told us he was planning on raising $25 million for his campaign. He told us he was planning on buying the election - that money (his) is what's most important to him.

    Harry is an arrogant criminal. He deserves to be defeated in the election, then sent to prison.

  6. Sounds better than that old NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) that Boy George (GOP Nazis) used to get us into Iraq-NAM. U.S. Sen. Kerry "the President cherry-picked the intelligence to get us into this war". I'm going with Kerry on these war crimes and crimes against humanity. During one of my three deployments to Vietnam, I actually saw Kerry using combat military intelligence. Hey Obama! "Dang me, dang me, they oughta take a rope and HANG me, high from the highest tree, LAURA would you weep for me".

    Americans are just a gullible as Hitler's Germans. "Lying, liars, and the lies they tell". Our extremist WASP-Judeos, they are just as foul as Muslim extremist. They all use religion to control their peasants and serfs. I had thought about wiping my rear-end with my copy of the bible, but that would be putting crap upon crap.

  7. The secret internment camps are being built in Nevada (ask Glen Beck) so there are jobs to be had. A secret internment camp guard gets paid $41,000 to start plus benefits. Entry-level death panel members are getting $64k to start.

  8. could it be as simple as Harry realizing that his constituents want health care NOW and when he finally, but belatedly went for it, his rating zoomed?
