Sun Coverage
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s re-election campaign has received several endorsements, but perhaps the most unusual one has been from an upstart band of his regular rivals, who have come together to support him under a banner that screams “swing vote”: Republicans for Reid.
The GOP group, formed well in advance of the midterm elections last year, has been slowly adding to its ranks ever since. For the most part, the 400-plus Republicans making up the list are prominent business owners, politicians, and political consultants with deep GOP ties — such as their leader, Sig Rogich.
Many have lent their names to the Reid campaign because they have long histories with him; many others have simply determined that Reid’s policies and clout would better serve the state than Sharron Angle’s.
But this is far from a band of boosters. Insofar as organized efforts go, Reid’s Republicans are a club without a clubhouse, a fraternity with no sacred oaths or traditions, a decentralized machine where all one must do to become part of the apparatus is sign on the dotted line.
Republicans for Reid is, in effect, a cross-section of the party’s disenchanted. But although their message has made headlines, the true test of their efficacy as a movement depends on what happens at the polls.
So far, those aren’t showing a remarkable turning in the tide.
“We’re getting over 90 percent of the Republican vote, so they might be one of the most ineffective coalitions in campaign history,” Angle spokesman Jarrod Agen said of the swing-vote campaign.
That 90 percent is from internal Angle campaign polling, but recent public polls aren’t showing a much rosier picture for Reid: a Las Vegas Review-Journal/KLAS Channel 8 poll from mid-October put Republican support for Angle at 84 percent of registered party voters.
In a race this close, just a few percentage points could be enough for a victory. But it’s not clear how much further Republicans rallying for Reid will be able to push their effort, when not all on the list are equally engaged.
Some, like Rogich, the group’s founder who otherwise has a long history of Republican political dealings, are vigorous and vocal in their support of the senior senator.
“To lose Sen. Reid would be catastrophic for Southern Nevada,” Rogich said. “We need Harry Reid at the table. He’s our only leverage. If we elect Sharron Angle, it would probably be the most embarrassing moment in Nevada’s history.”
Among the reasons Rogich embraces Reid: Last year the senator, who had supported construction of a maglev transportation system to link Las Vegas and Southern California, switched his support to DesertXpress, a more conventional high-speed train that Rogich backs and that Reid had concluded was a more viable choice.
For other Republicans, there was no luster in joining the list.
“I’m a little confused still, to be honest with you. I think it’s absolutely frightening that these are the candidates we get,” said Sam Francovich, owner of the Grill at Quail Corners, a Reno restaurant. “But from everyone who’s running at this point, he’s the best choice we have.”
The two men represent the opposite ends of a spectrum. Rogich, the influential rabble-rouser, has been raising money and pressing flesh to turn out votes for Reid; Francovich, the small-business owner, is not moved to do more than reluctantly promise his vote.
The Reid campaign appears to be content with that variance.
“The fact that Sen. Reid has earned the support of so many mainstream Republicans and high-profile Republican leaders is testimony to just how extreme and dangerous Sharron Angle’s agenda for Nevada would be,” Reid campaign spokesman Kelly Steele said. “Republicans for Reid has been a critical component of this campaign’s success.”
To make a difference though, Reid’s Republicans have to deliver far more than their names.
For some, the risk of helping is just too great — or distasteful.
There’s a risk in breaking from the GOP to support Reid, even in a year in which the state Republican Party is more or less in disarray.
Perhaps no one on Reid’s list is more aware of this than state Sen. Bill Raggio, who has endured a cavalcade of calls to remove him as Senate minority leader, a position he was expected to easily retain.
Bill Raggio
Raggio says he has no intention of doing extra work for the campaign.
“The short answer is, I issued a news release, and that’s all I have to say about it,” Raggio said. “I said what I thought about Reid, and that I was reluctantly willing to vote for him. So I’m not going to enlarge upon that.”
But in that news release, Raggio noted that Angle challenged him in a primary for his Senate seat two years ago in a “very negative campaign (that) distorted my record” and that she “lent aid and comfort to an effort to recall me” as state senator.
Whether Raggio pays a price for supporting Reid remains to be seen; Republican bigwigs who support Reid risk being ostracized from their party down the line.
But they just aren’t thinking about that right now.
“I’m sure there will be some criticism,” said state Sen. Dean Rhoads, the most recent addition to Reid’s list of Republican supporters. “But I’m not too concerned about it.”
Despite that, Rhoads said he doesn’t expect at this point to get too heavily invested in the ground game, although he says he thinks he’s “changed a lot of votes talking to people.” Other elected officials, such as Reno Mayor Bob Cashell and Sparks Mayor Geno Martini, have made several public appearances on behalf of Reid, sometimes serving as his surrogate for rallies and other campaign efforts.
But when it comes to the ground game — phone banking, fundraising and community outreach — it’s been the business owners making the strongest showing.
Scott Nielson, executive vice president of Station Casinos, has been working through a political action committee to solicit donations and send out mailings encouraging traditionally Republican voters to cast their ballot for, among others, Reid.
“People in Nevada are very accustomed to not voting strictly by party. They vote for the person who is best suited for the position,” he said. “As the majority leader, he’s in a position to get things done for our state that a more junior senator couldn’t get accomplished.”
For others, the ground game has just been about talking.
“I’ve been reaching out to fellow members, community people, people that I work with, that I know in the state, and that’s basically been it,” said Maggie Arias-Petrel, a director with the Latin Chamber of Commerce, which has not as an organization endorsed a candidate. But its president and CEO, Otto Merida, is also a Republican for Reid and has been employing the same sort of tactics: talking to community leaders — church pastors especially — and hoping they get the word out to the community.
“There are two things you can deliver to help campaigns — you can deliver votes, and you can deliver money,” Merida said. “We are limited in money … but we have voters.”
Arias-Petrel, Merida and Nielson lent their names to Reid’s roster early on — but all said they were inspired to do more for Reid than simply lend their names to the effort after Angle’s campaign never attempted to reach them.
The Republican effort, of course, has areas of strength. Fundraising is the main one.
“We tell people, look, we don’t happen to agree with 100 percent of the policy matters that come before Harry Reid, but we’re setting aside the ideologies for the betterment of the state,” Rogich said.
But their activities are rarely orchestrated — each does what he can.
“It’s not a club where we coordinate a strategy,” Nielson said. “It’s really a matter of having like-minded people who happen to be Republicans.”
Tony just because you frequent the same bars as the turncoat republicans tells everyone "Yes there is a problem here".
These poor turncoats' nose is bigger than their brain. Can ya understand the confusion? Just look in the mirror, suddenly when you understand the truth, you'll have another 7 years bad luck.
Oh, by the way how's that new coat you bought? You remember the one that buckles your sleeves up your back.
How much worse can Nevada's economy get before we discover Harry's not doing us any favors. Wake up and look around. Apparently the people in this article have jobs and homes.
I will stop supporting the Republican Party if they don't strip Ragman of his leadership post.
Sig Rogich stinks. He was one of the people that was with the governor at the night of that scandal and helped the governor deal with things afterward.
I have had numerous republican friends and business associates tell me they will vote for Harry Reid.
Time for Reid to go and OPEN Yucca Mountain waste storage. Vote Sharron Angle!!!!!!!
Sharron Angle is a disaster for the Nevada State GOP, us sane Republicans will vote for Reid.
Ha! Pull any of my earlier blogs.
I said from the start that Angle was just a ringer.
The woman has done everything, but announce that she's sold her soul to Satan, to lose this race.
The day before elections, she'll probably do a topless pole dance and sign with Palin for a Playboy photo shoot.
This is a tragic set-back for the illusions of freedom and Democracy, but I can't stop laughing.
This is so bad, it's funny. You go, Harry!
Main reason to vote against Harry Reid: He played politics instead of supporting the troops during the Iraq war. His saying the war is lost in 2007 played directly into the hands of the terrorists.
Main reason to vote against Sharron Angle: She's an idiot. To tell the tea partiers they need to stop supporting idiot idealogues.
It's a tough choice, but I have to figure it out today before I go to Albertson's to vote.
It wouldn't matter if the entire republican party came out tomorrow and endorsed Reid, you guys would find a way to spin it into some type of "doubt" that he will succeed. Never before has so many prominent members of an opposing party endorsed a member of the opposite party. If the polls said that Senator Reid was at 95% you guys would say "never say never, we'll just have to wait and see if Sharron Angle can pull it off, she's come from behind before". This election season I have thrown in the towel on the MSM. You guys are more about creating chaos to keep people's attention than reporting truth. As far as giving you credit for insight and knowledge, I quit! You've lost all integrity!
Anyone with half a brain...
WE NEED HARRY REID.
Nevadans, VOTE for YOUR OWN interests; NOT Karl Rove's and the Koch Brothers' interests...

There are many legitimate reasons to not support Reid, but the Iraq War was a fraud...as was the Viet Nam War.
Do you know why the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor?
Do you know the REAL reason why America dropped the SECOND atomic bomb on living people?
Be very careful about wildly waving the flag around or too high.

Bruce my blue belly friend-- I've learned that when guys bring up your skewed viewpoint of American military history followed by a summary of their DD-214, they are usually egocentric blowhards with limited comprehension abilities.
Party affiliations and labels are meaningless any more. Most politicians and their hacks are corrupt and change parties and policies willy-nilly to follow the money. The will of the governed needs to be defined by representatives true to governing principles. Do you want bigger government and higher taxes? - vote for the liberals and progressives regardless of the party affiliation. Want a representative that is more in line with our constitution? - vote for the conservatives. This is not a one time fix. Elected representatives need to be continually monitored to make sure they govern according to their campaign promises and voted in and out accordigly at each future election cycle.
I wish Mike Montandon had gone for the Senate seat instead of the Governor spot. "Mayor Mike" as he was known in NLV, seems like a good guy with a bright mind. He, of course, didn't make it past the primary. We get Reid and Sandoval. (sigh)
The Republicans in this Senate race didn't have a lot to choose from. Lowden: a casino owner, Tark: I've met him, apparently other Nevadans have too, and Angle, who nobody knew anything about.
Many voters, myself included, are lazy and often don't vote in the primaries. Only the really angry people showed up at the primary- thus, we give you Sharron Angle.
Without going in to a lot reasons why you should not vote for Angle- I'll just give you the main reason. She's a northern Nevadan. Las Vegas has changed radically over the last ten years. We have problems similar to LA now. The people up north don't get it. Reno, Carson, and Elko are essentially the same as they were ten years ago. They don't understand what we are up against.
Southern Nevada needs Southern Nevada leadership, period.
well said vegasd8
"To lose Sen. Reid would be catastrophic for Southern Nevada," Rogich said. "We need Harry Reid at the table. He's our only leverage."
He is YOUR leverage, Sig. You own him lock, stock and barrel. Funny how right after your little campaign contribution he switched his loyalty to the high speed train deal that would net YOU the most money.
Rogich is Reid's pimp, plain and simple.
RINO Republicans coming out in support of Harry Reid.
I'm just taking a guess here, but could this have more to do with the all mighty dollar (pork) than ideological support?
:P
Architect...Everyone knows that it was the Germans that bombed pearl Harbor...
It is kind of hard to tell all those people apart.
Mrs. Angle will have a hell of a time paying off her notes to Crossroads and the Koch brothers.

Ya gotta love these D bags who come on the net - declare themselves a Veteran (include the security clearance) as-if that means anything? Is this peace-time Air force veteran somehow MORE qualified to give an opinion? More credible? We have hundreds of thousands of combat veterans -- and more every day - Vets who do the heavy lifting! You won't impress many of us -- with your "service" sitting in a missle silo in Cheyenne, Wyoming for 20 years.
This is exactly why the Tea Party's across this Country are raising the awareness of the collusions between the two major parties. The Republican's for Reid are the same mentality that put this Country where it is today. They want to keep the same teams on the field.
At least the new Republican party in Nevada elected a NON-Establishment candidate to attempt to break the strangle-hold the corrupt Party's in charge have had on the last twenty years.
If you like where we are now, record foreclosures and 15% unemployment, vote for Reid, if you want to at least try to change this old game give Angle a try. One Senator in several does make a difference.
This is no surprise given that there is little difference between the mainstream Repubs and Democrats... Harry's voting record makes him a hero of the one party kleptocracy, of course they want to keep him in power...ah yes...change we can believe in....
Prominent Republicans coming out in support of Harry Reid will not be prominent Republicans much longer...
I commend these 400 plus prominent Republicans for choosing what is best for Nevada. Even if it goes against party politics.
In these weird political times, I know they are probably taking flack for making this decision. And their ability to stick by a choice, to do what is right for Nevada and not worrying about Tea Party hypocrisy and being labeled falsely as RINOs and traitors and other stupidity is simply admirable.
I am pretty sure even after crossing party lines making their choice in this Senate race, they can still hold their heads up proudly.
Because the simple truth of the matter is that, when you look at Sharron Angle, it all boils down to this: Crazy is crazy. And you can't change it.
I am a senior citizen like most of the residents of Las Vegas originally from from another state.I remember voting in favor of a school bond issue in a Sun City Summerlin polling spot some time back and while waiting in line I had a conversation with a retired couple from Michigan. It did not take for them to tell me they were against the school bond issue. I asked them if they had a children and they answered yes as well as grandchildren and great granchildren in Michigan. I asked them if the voters in Michigan who had raised thier children and paid thier taxes took umbrage with paying to educate thier children and grand children. The once pleasant conversation was now over. In reality I get the feeling that a lot of senior citizens in Nevada are of the opinion that thier obligation to society consists of bingo and buffets.
In light of the fact Angle has been very clear about the fact she would somehow eliminate social security and medicare I am amamzed at the Tea Party supporters who are for the most part are senior citizens could rally to this out of touch liar and hypocrite Angle. It is clear now why senior citizens find themselves at odds with thier family and loved ones who appoint conservators for them.
If Harry Reid and the Obama administration would have paid attention to the economy instead of spending two years trying to revamp our health care system, unemployment in Las Vegas might not be 15% today...
There is a clear choice here and its gotta be Harry Reid. Angle is NUTS and she's proven it time after time. Palin is nuts too and she's been Angle's puppeteer with funding from Rove who should be in a federal penitentiary trading cigarettes as ca$h.
Hold your nose if necessary but vote for Reid,...its much too early in this recovery to slam the door shut on the Democrats just because it hasn't opened wide enough yet. They have been obstructed at every turn by Republicans who hate this president because of his color.
They trot out loons,...the insane tea party crowd with 17th century ideas. We need to move forward with Democrat leadership since the Republicans have nothing at all besides more tax cuts to the wealthy and fabricated lies they want Fox spewing to the nation.
If power returns to the Republicans we give back everything with possibly never having another opportunity to correct 8 years of Bush's illegal illegitimate occupation of the White House, or the 30 years since Reagans onslaught of the unions and good paying jobs in America. The Republicans have conned America for decades and its time voters woke up and understood that a vote in this upcoming midterm for ANY Republican is a vote against their own best interests. Not voting at all for any party,...sitting home on your hands is a vote for the Republicans,...a party who simply doesn't care about America, its people, or the truth.
Vote for HARRY REID!
Everybody is nuts except for Harry Reid and his lemmings...
Nevada is the only U.S. state to allow legal prostitution in the form of heavily regulated brothels.
It's good to know that several "Prominent" Nevada prostitutes have taken a position in this race.
Former LV Councilman Steve Miller (R)
On the subject of Sharron Angle;
"NOT NOW. NOT EVER."
This has nothing to do with her party affiliation.
Harry Reid says he is the most powerful member in the Senate.
One can not tell by the inexcusable and staggering 15% unemployment in Las Vegas...
I'VE HAD ENOUGH! Can anyone here tell me what sharon angle plans are to help Nevadas...besides cutting social security,cutting medicare,cutting the education dept.the veterans dept.,her refusal to help those that are unemployed saying that their don't deserve unemployment benefits,bringing toxic waste to Yucca mountain that could poison and affect the health of Nevadans, tax breaks for the wealthy that would hurt the deficit even more, outlaw a womans right to choose, her anti gay and racist views..the list goes on and on and on..So can someone please tell me how she plans to help Nevadas? and blaming Harry Reid is not the answer I want to hear.
HE HAS HAD ENOUGH AND WILL VOTE FOR ANGLE!!!
Harry Reid's top two priorities should be the economy. Doesn't Harry ever listen to the people?
Harry Reid and the Obama administration need to be held accountable for their lack of leadership in improving the economy.
If Harry Reid and the Obama administration would have paid attention to the economy instead of spending two years trying to revamp our health care system, unemployment in Las Vegas might be 15% today...
That's not an answer..YOU LOSE!
It's time to man-up, Sharron.
YOU'RE RIGHT..She's not a lady.
Harry is the scum of the earth and if he wins, Nevada loses...
Only someone who supports Obama and his corrupt, distructive plans for American could support Dirty Harry...
Vote for Harry and all is lost for Nevada. It's sad they are so many fools in the state...
"I commend these 400 plus prominent Republicans for choosing what is best for Nevada. Even if it goes against party politics."
"Because the simple truth of the matter is that, when you look at Sharron Angle, it all boils down to this: Crazy is crazy. And you can't change it."
Crazy are the people, who don't realize, that there is more at stake here than in a usual election. And you can't change it.
RINOS - In this case bet hedgers, fence sitters and cowards. These are the folks who will vote for the same mistakes the RINOS made last time they had a chance to do the right thing.
As Reid is the Senate Majority Leader and Angle is at best a freshman with no juice - if elected, the real choice is between more spending, higher taxes - the Obama agenda, and a chance to stop the destruction of the country.
The real choice is between more back room deals, more immoral compromises with the radical left, further removal of our personal freedoms and an opportunity to restore some integrity to the process and support American sovereignty and independence.
That makes any RINO support of Harry Reid an offense against the nation.
And no I didn't vote a straight ticket, and yes I did vote for three Democrats and two selected NV (no votes) yesterday in early voting. But I didn't vote to harm the nation.
A vote for Harry Reid is a vote to harm the nation. Those who vote to benefit themselves at the expense of all Americans (Harry please bring home the pork - which is no more than stealing from others) are reprehensible, selfish and disloyal.
When you see any group of "prominent business owning republicans" get behind anyone it's because there will be earmarks or policies passed that benefit them. When they say "we need Harry Reid" they are talking about themselves and their business interests, not the Nevada public at large.
Why are prominent Republicans supporting Harry Reid you ask? Let's face it, its MONEY! The question should be is that a bad thing! Gaming is what makes our economy run. So let's be honest, who would you rather want in Washington pushing our state's agenda? It's obvious to the gaming industry who they want. I may not be a genius, but I do know when casinos are profiting so am I.
Well Harry did save MGM, I guess we owe him one.
This all comes down to voting for a Nevada politican (sorry about that bad word) that will help improve all of Nevada. Harrys performance has not proven that. Harrys been in the system too long. Nevada needs some new ideas. The nation and the our State does not like the direction Harry is heading (or back-peddling). It obviously doesn't help Nevada having Harry and Obama working to complete their goals. How high can unemployment go in Nevada? Who is paying for all these governmental programs when no one is working or producing made in the USA products? Its not brain surgery. It is only going to get worst with this thought train. More banks are failing everyday. Remember how people bailed out of California many years ago and moved to the more affordable Las Vegas? You all got scammed by Harry.
Too late people. Voting is already going on with Angle 48% to Reid 45% already figured in the count. Desperately grasping for any little thing to hold on to power! These Democrats have no shame. The sun sets soon but not soon enough. Harry Reid saved the world!Without Harry Reid we would all fall on our faces! Harry our savior! Paleeeeeeeaaase! I'm salivating!!!...Go ANGLE!
Conservatives don't give a rats behind about economics, its all a smoking screen for how they really feel..most, if not all conservatives vote on abortion ,gays, guns,God and more wars with nothing in mind but hate, fear and division that takes them to vote. So when they talk about the economy it's all about their selfish needs other than that, they're all full of ****.
I am a reasonably conservative accountant. I voted for Sharron Angle last week. Reid has gone along with Obama for tax policies that are just plain anti business. I do not care what these other Republicans say but you can't get the economy going with high marginal tax rates like 40% plus medicare taxes on dividends and rental income down the road.Angle is not nuts. She is pro business. Call a spade a spade.
Thanks for the tip..I'm calling my friends including my republican friends who are planning to vote for Harry Reid to go and vote early for him...Thanks for the heads up.
How can you even speculate and make an odd statements like, "Conservatives don't give a rats behind about economics...it's all about their selfish needs....". Darn right I'm selfish. Selfish for my family, wanting the best for their future. How are you going to send your kids to college? How are you going to pay for your kids wedding? Darn right I'm selfish. I've worked darn hard for 30 years and I want my kids to be happy and productive citizens of society before I kick the bucket. When it comes down to fighting for my family.....everyone better get out of my way.
america needs bush back in the white house.
war, debt, arrogance, war crimes, global economic
collapse...
yeah, thanks to bush and the repukeliklan party.
There's another bright dollar bill. Blame the whole world because you never have been a productive citizen.
She's unproven,dumb and dangerous..the worst attributes.You think things are bad now..just wait for sharon angle..she'll be the laughing stock of Nevada. One thing I believe ,the devil you know is better than the devil you don't....I want the devil that brings the bacon home...vote REID.
These Republicans need to pull their heads out from their behinds, period! Harry Reid has damaged our state and needs to be canned. What moron would support that jerk? Kindda makes you wonder what their motivations are. Our corruption problem might be bigger than anyone currently knows.
After we fire Reid, I say we clean house of these idiots as well!
Yeah, Harry's proven. Thats a good point about the bacon. I love bacon, why is it so expensive this year? Harry....your doing a great job for the pig farmers in Nevada. Profits are up!
HAHAHAHA the reason they are backing Reid is FEAR. thye fear their cushy jobs might be endangered if a true conservative comes ot power. they fear harry's wrath if he does eke out a win. This state has nothing but WEAK RHINO"S that is the only reason any of these jokers is supporting reid. like someone said above MONEY
IF SHIPPING JOBS OVERSEAS is OK with you.. then yes you are selfish.When the chamber of commerce makes a deal with big business and republicans in congress to involuntary lay off hard working families with the hopes to hurt Obama and that is OK with you? Then yes, you're selfish..THIS AFFECTS "ALL" OF US not just you and your conversative selfish ways.
Got to go. Been fun. Better then coffee. I casted my one vote on the first day of early voting already, so I'm just messing with you all in Vegas. Had to stand in line for 1 hour. I'm fairly sure everyone was not there to vote for all the incuments that have been doing such a great job the last few years. My votes went for a fresh group of "leaders". If that doesn't work, I'll vote that batch out too. About all I can do, as mad as I get.....I just keep working, keep smiling and .....hope that Harry will be happy managing his investments in Nevada after his long political career.
The new health care law wasn't supposed to undercut employer plans that have provided most people in the U.S. with coverage for generations.
But last week a leading manufacturer told workers their costs will jump partly because of the law. Also, a Democratic governor laid out a scheme for employers to get out of health care by shifting workers into taxpayer-subsidized insurance markets that open in 2014.
While it's too early to proclaim the demise of job-based coverage, corporate number crunchers are looking at options that could lead to major changes.
"The economics of dropping existing coverage is about to become very attractive to many employers, both public and private," said Gov. Phil Bredesen, D-Tenn.
THANKS HARRY, GREAT WORK
Bacon is expensive because of greedy pigs like you trying to make a profit off workers by paying then a mimimum wage at the same time wanting to do away with the minimum wage so the greedy pigs can make more profit on the backs of hard working Nevadans.
If Harry is such a stellar candidate, why are his ads so negative? This man has been in Congress for 25+ years and all he has to show for it is negativism and attacks.
Harry is desperate and he is clinging to power like no other. Sig Rogich is a political player who follows money rather than ideals.
The sad desperate liberals can't see the Forrest for the trees. Harry and Obama are anti gay, anti business, anti common sense, yet pro blame Bush and pro pander to union trogs.
Personally I don't care who votes for who. I am just sick and tired of the same liberal posters who couldn't reason their way out of a wet paper bag spout off against anyone who dares think on their own and who continue to use vile language and insults against free thinkers.
I guess the comment policy hasn't really been a deterrent to the thug mentality that continues to plague the boards.
If the Republicans get voted back in, I expect that all Republicans will hold them to the same timeline standards for improving the economy, boosting jobs, etc. to which they have held the Democrats. Fair is fair. And no complaining that this is now an impossible task. I haven't heard a single Republican say "it will take years to fix this." All are claiming that if we vote for them, they'll straighten things out. Great. Just remember that the Democrats, while they may well have participated in the current economic crisis, are not exclusively to blame for it.
For instance, during the time that the Republicans held power for six consecutive years, not a single one ever said "hey, this whole ARM mortgage thing is a bad idea; let's get rid of it." They had their chance to fix it. (I mention this example because I've seen numerous blogs in various media that continually blame only Democrats; yet Republicans never tried to stop it themselves, even when they had the power to do so.)
All parties are guilty for the messes we are in. But again, if you're going to hold Democrats to some magic timeline for having things fixed, you'd better do the same for Republicans. What, by the way, is that magic timeline you plan to set for the new wave of Republican power?
The is only one Republican for Reid who really counts. Jim Murren, the CEO of Nevada's largest employer.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232/?video=1...
The name calling is just too much. Angle is not crazy or nuts and Reid is not wealthy beyond belief. They each have their own political philosophy as to what they believe in. Nevadans are inherently smart people and will do the right thing.
SERIOUSLY, all those so called "Republicans" are LOOSERS! Who cares what they think. Get this Girly Man Reid out of office. Bad Reid Bad Senator. http://aBadReid.com
ALL is fair in love... I sometimes get passionate and I say things out of worry and concern. I believe in justice for all and help for those who may have less.We are all Americans... United we stand,Divided we fall. I apologize for some of the things that I may have said on here that was unbecoming of me but it's only out of concern for my fellowman. We all have something to say but it does not really matter, for who knows what tomorrow brings.NO ONE has all the answers and NO ONE ever will. It does not really matter who win or who lose but what's best for ALL OF US. We ALL breath the same air. We're ALL in this boat together..rich ,poor ,black ,white,hispanic and others,gay, straight,republican and democrats,conservative and liberal..We either fail or succeed. We really have no control of what happens in the end.. For after all that is said and done we ALL have to work together in the same boat called America. God bless.

Sorry RonNV, but republican, conservative and tea potty Nevadans are not smart - Jim Gibbons is the Governor and not one republican, conservative or tea potty Nevadan is blaming him for the crappy economy, because they blame it all on Harry Reid. The republicans listed in this article are smarter than most of the negative posters (most likely paid by the Koch brothers or Sharron Angle) here, but they won't be able to sway many republican, conservative and tea potty voters as Fox, Rush, Beck, et al., have already made up their minds for them.
One can only pray and hope that Nevadans "will do the right thing" and re-elect Reid.
I worked in an office of one of the prominent Repubs. The question should be "what favors is Harry calling in? Lots of "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours". We need the Sun nd the R.J to start reporting the truth instead of what they percieve the truth to be. Americans on both sides have to stand up for truth in our media, it has bocome a joke!!
Thanks LVRocks for proving my point.
"Nevadans are inherently smart people and will do the right thing."
The masses are inherently deluded people - what makes the difference is who they follow.
Harry Reid wins re election by 2,900 plus votes.
Hey, I'd probably be part of the lunatic fringe and vote for Angle if I had lost my house and job. Who better than Reid, Obama, and the Democrats to blame for the residual mess Bush and Cheney left us?
Luckily, I don't have to nor need to depend on government to pay my way through life, I own my business (which has done exceptionally well, despite the recession), and my home was bought and paid for long ago.
The article says it all. Too bad the republicans didn't have a stronger, smarter candidate.
Not that I'm shedding any tears of pain or anything! :)
Count mine as one republican vote for Reid. Angle obviously hates women and seniors, the EPA and the color black. I can not cast my votefor a hater.
Tell me why I should care what they think.These people are not Republcans. a vote for Harry Reid is a vote for Socialism..
If Harry Reid and the Obama administration would have paid attention to the economy instead of spending two years trying to revamp our health care system, unemployment in Las Vegas might not be 15% today and Harry would probably be running unopposed.
The lunatic fringe lol....has anyone ever listened to Harry gReid and Nancy (half of a brain) Pelosi. and last but not least Obama the guy who promised a shovel in every garage. No wonder they are going to lose. Cant wait.
Social Security & Medicare are examples of "socialism". Ask seniors whether they like it or not! LOL
Once prominent Republicans coming out of the woodwork in support of Harry Reid...
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive the voters...
Can anyone please tell me what sharon angle plans are to help Nevadans..I'm still trying to find out.
I've come to the conclusion that conservatives that are voting for sharon angle is mainly for the social issues like anti abortion ,anti gay and immigration. Most of them don't have a pot to piss in, yet they vote on their ideology of hate and fear.....so very sad.
These Repukeblicans just don't want to be associated with the dumb ones backing the nutcase. Nevadans specifically the Repukeblicans are the laughing stock of the nation and these people just have too much pride to be ridiculed and laughed at. Hahahahahaa!
thesunwill- You are somewhat right, I will never vote for anyone who thinks that killing the unborn is okay, I will never vote for any canidate who supports so called gay rights, now that is sick. Sharron Angle will win. I know quite a few Democrats who will vote for Angle, not all surprised with the corrupt Repucks who supports Reid, Harry is just calling in favors. Angle will win, the tea party is made up mostly of independents who will vote mainly for Angle. Good bye Harry- so glad to see ya go.

--------------------------------------------
Maybe Sharron Angle will wait until she gets into office, and let you know; kind of like Nancy P. who said" just vote yes on the health care bill will let you know what's in it will it pass". You don't care about anything except getting dirty harry elected; sorry- that want be happening...
Sharon Angle will help Nevadans by sending Harry Reid back to Searchlight.
Sharron Angle will be a great help to Nevada if she will just vote NO!
I was right.... thank you all very much for NOT answering my question...Have a nice day.
Call Sharron Angle right now. Her number is on each side of your screen. Tell to stop shushing the women of Nevada.
******Sharron Angle******
Just plain wrong for Nevada.
I've been listening to the conservatives bigoted and racist talk on here in disguise for something else..Your talks in your lviing rooms is truly telling when you use the word N word talking about Obama..You just can't stand it and yet you have the nerve to somehow reward and celebrate your bigotry and hate.. I truly feel sorry for you people...WIN OR LOSE ..WE'RE NOT GOING BACK.
"I've come to the conclusion that conservatives that are voting for sharon angle is mainly for the social issues like anti abortion ,anti gay and immigration"
I believe Reid gives Angle a run for her money on all 3.
You might be clueless about Reid so I will educate you.
Reid supported Nevada's ban on gay marriage and he voted for DOMA which allows Nevada to ignore gay marriages from other states.
Reid supports pro-life laws, too.
Reid pushed hard for a law to ban citizenship for babies born form illegals.
So go back and drink your koolaid and please continue to type on things that you are clueless on.
You are dead WRONG on all that,all of those were amendments put in by republicans to specific bills in the senate so he had to vote no to those amendments in order to save or kill the specific bills..Now, you need go back and take some more of your hate pills.. OK.
sharon angle is perfect for you guys, go right ahead and vote for her but she is DEAD WRONG ON THE REAL ISSUES THAT MATTER AND TOO DAM EXTREME FOR THE REST OF US.
According to certain commenters: "If you do not support Obama, then you are a racist bigot!"
And...
"If you don't support Harry Reid, you are still a racist bigot!"
Nice talk coming from our Democrat friends who live on the left side of civility...
Goodnight!
theSunWill...a.k.a Mr. Clueless, a few years ago the whole state of Nevada...not the freaking US Senate...voted on adding an admenment to the Nevada Constitution to ban gay marriage. Your hero, Reid, came out and supported the ban.
Now, go back and finish your koolaid.....you little naive lib.
CIVILTY...What a joke! Your side is the one that is always questioning his birth right,calling him a muslim and some of the worst durogotory remarks I've ever hear in my life..so you want to talk about civility.OH PLEASE..START LOOKING AT YOURSELVES IN THE MIRROR. As an independent i'm disgusted at your commentators.
theSunWill....so if Reid is for a ban on gay marriage then according to you he is a bigot.
So if support Reid then you are a bigot.
Nice going, bigot.
Talk about being disgusted. Who is the commenter calling other commenters, bigots and racists, if they do not have his political views???
He is not a bigot, you people live and breed hate, you want government out of your lives but yet you want government in the lives of gay people and a womans right to choose. I am a bigot against bigotry and intolerance and you conservatives wrote the book on it.
I LOVE YOU BABES..You did it again..you said 'if they do not have his political veiws??..thank you for admitting the truth about yourselves.
"I am a bigot against bigotry and intolerance and you conservatives wrote the book on it."
Yes, you said it all...
I have had the best time on here discussing about issues agree to disagree.The bottom line is my hearts in the right place and I'm sure all of yours as well.What a great country that we can share this freedom..God truly bless America and that we can ALL celebrate..HUGS
If Sharon Angle wins then Nevada is going to be the laughing stock of the country and the State will be the big loser in the Senate.
As an Independent I am only concerned with the State and Nevadans not a political party. Angle will be a disaster for the State and the country just as Palin, the dumba$$, would be as President.
We never want to repeat Nazi Germany.. that is what I meant by being a bigot against bigotry and intolerance in any shape or form.. larry, you know better than that.. please think before you post.
Time to hit the sack..I have a Company to run and employees that need me..take care guys..goodnight and God bless.
Call Sharron Angle. Tell her that taking federal entitlement money each month is WRONG.
Sharron Angle: You can't put lipstick on a pig, and then say that makes her right for Nevada.
"Tell her that taking federal entitlement money each month is WRONG."
So let's take that line of logic to the next step.
People who are against oil drilling in the USA should stop using oil in all forms and all products made by machines that use oil.
Good luck.....
Moderate republicans and Hispanics will put
Harry over the top.
Harry Reid is on his way to a SOLID WIN.
Rogich says Republicans are "setting aside the ideologies for the betterment of the state." In Sig's case it was for the betterment of his pocketbook that he endorsed reid...right after the endorsement reid switched from the maglev train to the DesertXpress of which rogich is an investor...Frankly sig, your integrity sucks...
But Liberals say they want politics as usual.
Eight False Things the Public "Knows" Prior to Election Day
Friday 22 October 2010
by: Dave Johnson | Campaign for America's Future
There are a number of things the public "knows" as we head into the election that are just false. If people elect leaders based on false information, the things those leaders do in office will not be what the public expects or needs. Here are eight of the biggest myths that are out there:
http://www.truth-out.org/eight-false-thi...
It never ceases to surprise me that the only comments the Sun considers "trusted" are the ones that are in agreement with their editorial slant.
Hey Larry, the fat lady is getting ready to sing.
Make lemons into lemonade Angle is toooo crazy and stupid to be a senater representing Nevada!
Go Harry!
Give them Hell, Harry. Enough said.
I consider myself a Republican, but I don't blindly check a box simply because of party affiliation. I chuckle at both the left and right extremists who don't seem to be able to think for themselves.
I will vote for Angle, however it is with considerable reservation. I believe she is a poor choice as the individual who will represent my state - but that said, I find her political platform superior than our incumbent senator.
Both candidates have embarrassed themselves and our state with their childish, slanderish campaigns. I will be glad when the first week of November has passed.
The headline reads "prominent republicans supporting Harry Reid". This is'nt news I thought they were the ones she defeated in the Primary Election. I wonder how many average joe Democrats will replace these liberal rinos.
Hey Larry, the fat Birdie can't sing because it drowned in koolaid! Can't wait to see the look of the faces of Rogich and Greenspun when Nevada has two Republican Senators and a Republican Governor. Berkley (our Congresswoman from Israel) is going to be pretty lonely on the flights to DC.
Why would the RINOs support Reid? Simple; Money and power. Reid gives freely of both to those who are in the tank for him. OUR MONEY and the power he can buy with OUR MONEY.
The common folk and the Prominent Republicans have experienced the lost in their home values and no doubt some even under water.
One of the above is insane: The definition of insanity is repeating the same mistake over and over expecting a different result
Harry thinks the "fat lady" is HOT!!!
I've read that a vote for Angle is really just a vote against Reid. How stupid can voters be? A vote for Angle is a vote for Angle, her stupidity and extreme ideas. If stupidity and extremism win, we ALL lose, not just Reid.
Talk about "stupid." Democrats should have ran someone against Harry Reid in the primary election. Reid would be gone, but the seat would stay in Democrat hands.
The Democrats did not give Nevada voters anyone to vote for, so we have to vote against Harry Reid to get him out of office.
Didn't Democrats know of Harry Reid's extremely low favorability ratings among Nevada voters...
Democrats deserve what they get...
Bye Bye Harry! Both candidates are terrible but we've already seen Harry do what he can (NOTHING but make himself rich) so its time for a change..
Ever notice that since losing in the primaries, Arlen Specter PA, has almost no face time on the HDTV screens?
Media interest in a debunked Harry won't be as cruel to the x-majority leader but thank goodness he will just fade away to the desert soil of Searchlight.
His progeny will carry on maybe in elective politics or at best lobbyist where Pops got them started.
The new Reid generation will continue to serve, represent or capitalize on the citizens of Nevada.
Dont vote. When the polls show only 100k people vote out of 2 million, they'll get the hint this government is FUBAR.
Reid can bring in King Tut and the results will still be the same. A bad economy and a complete lack of leadership and responsibility by Mr. Reid.
The Democratic wing of the GOP won't last past the next election cycle -- time to clean out the RINOs!
Nothing like TonyCrazo calling others crazy...
TONY..You are smart and bright..don't let these fools tell you different.I wish they alL some common sense like you.I think you're GREAT.
That elephant illustration is a classic!
My bad: Not all republicans are as dense as I thought they were.
Good. I'm glad to see that some Republicans aren't buying what the extreme rightwing are selling. Karl Rove's agenda bankrupt this country; made the rich far richer; and decimated our civil liberties. Now he wants another shot at it. Ignore the propaganda paid for by the rich who love Republican policies. Vote for Senator Harry Reid, who has done a lot for Nevada but has been slandered by those who resent his support for average Americans.
Sharron Angle got my vote
No Reid can ever buy my vote
Adios Harry and Rory
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/10/...
Harry Reid,We love you ! you will win by 2900 votes... now all you hatemongers go and pull your ugly hearts out.
A lot of you are nothing but a bunch of closeminded,hypocritical racist homophobes and it really has nothing to do with Harry Reid, the economy or anything else but mostly because a black man named Obama is in the white house..if Obama was white or biracial and a republican and was dealing with the same issues of today you ***-**-******* would be in support of him..all of you suddenly complaining it nothing but a smokescreen and coverup for the inbred hatred for Obama only because of his race and most of you can't deny it.
FOX EXCLUSIVE: Aide to Harry Reid Lied to Feds, Submitted False Documents About Sham Marriage
An aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid repeatedly lied to federal immigration and FBI agents and submitted false federal documents to the Department of Homeland Security to cover up her illegal seven-year marriage to a Lebanese national who was the subject of an Oklahoma City Joint Terror Task Force investigation, FoxNews.com has learned.
Diana Tejada, Reid's Hispanic Press Secretary, admitted to receiving payment for "some of her expenses" in exchange for fraudulently marrying Bassam Mahmoud Tarhini in 2003, strictly so he could obtain permanent U.S. residency, according to court documents.
Tarhini, now 37, was held in jail and at an immigration detention center in connection with his 2009 indictment on felony charges, documents show. He pleaded guilty to entering a fraudulent marriage to evade immigration laws -- a Class D felony -- in November 2009, and he was deported in March 2010.
Tejada, now 28, was never charged for her role in the crime."
Do you remember what happens when you lie to the FBI. Ask Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. It carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.
ANYONE WANT TO GUESS WHY TEJADA WAS NOT CHARGED???
thesunwill-Obama's race have nothing to do with how most people vote, there are racist all three parties, there are black racist, and white racist, if any black person voted for Obama because he is half black, that is still racism, I am black, and have fought for civil rights since I was 14 years old, and I could not bring myself to vote for Obama. He need to get off of Harry Reid's plantation.
The desperation of the crazy, greedy teabaggers
is amazing. These nuts have no bounds.
Do these kuckle-heads really think that a fool
like Sharron Angle will create jobs and turn this
economy around?
Sharron Angle said that it's not her job to
create jobs.
But stupid people back her.
Sharron Angle said that we should do away with
Social Security.
But stupid people back her.
We have two problems here.
Sharron Angle and stupid people.
There is only one smart choice,
HARRY REID.
Hey teamster...
If, in your words, Sharron Angle is a fool...
Then...
What in the cat hair is Harry Reid???
Harry Reid is our great Senator, that's who Harry
is.
MAN UP AND VOTE FOR HARRY.
Prominent Republicans coming out in support of Harry Reid will be returning under their rocks when they find out about the scandal going on with Harry aide who was not arrested when she should have been.
Give it up, Larry, you're really getting
desperate now.
This election is about Harry Reid and Sharron
Angle, not their aids.
Republican deception will not work.
HARRY REID IS ON HIS WAY TO A SOLID WIN.
Pmontg.. You are lying..That's another trumped up story. I know who you are...stop the lying b**S***...nice try.
~~~ANYONE WANT TO GUESS WHY TEJADA WAS NOT CHARGED???~~~
Harry Reid conducted his own closed Las Vegas style inquest, clearing his Hispanic liaison, and calling off the dogs.
Bush cut taxes for the rich and American
companies STILL SENT JOBS TO COMMUNIST CHINA.
SHARRON ANGLE IS WORSE THAN BUSH.
This evening every major newspaper across the U.S. is carrying the news story about Harry Reid's aide not facing charges for multiple felonies that she admitted she performed.
And everyone of them is asking: Did Harry Reid have something to do with no charges being filed against his aide.
No, he didn't, larry.
And Angle's is still crazy.
GIVE EM HELL, HARRY.
The biggest reason business owners support Reid? MONEY. They know that Reid will bring more pork locally versus Angle. It's just too bad that the state and federal government is broke. But who cares when everybody is looking out for themselves first versus what's the right thing to do----balance our budgets and live within our means.
Sharron Angle has made voting in this election simple for both democrats and republicans -- vote for Senator Reid. The wacko tea baggers descending on the state of Nevada and telling Nevadans how they should vote is insulting to all voters. Nevadans can see that Angle is both crazy and dangerous and that her ideas would do great damage to our state. The US and the entire world is in a deplorable economic condition and Senator Reid, as Senate Majority Leader, has made huge efforts to help Nevadans through these tough times. Replacing Senator Reid, the #1 senator (Majority Leader), with a #100 senator who will be shunned as a wacko by both republicans and democrats alike will be an unmitigated disaster for all Nevadans. Nevada's only real influence on the federal government lies with its two senators -- the voices of Nevada's three congressional representatives are scarcely heard. Nevada cannot afford to lose the influence Senator Reid brings to Nevada.
Criminals for Harry Reid!
More Felons support Harry Reid then Sharron Angle... so I guess that means we should support Reid..
These are the same Republicans that Obama likes to say Drove the Car in the Ditch during his Pep Rallies..
How Funny!
Best for Nevada my Arse..
Best for their pocketbooks is more like it. Track these losers down and see how they make their money. They are still bitter that their Republican In Name Only (RINO) candidate Sue Lowden lost.
Nothing but Parasites...
Moderate republicans don't trust Angle.
It won't be long until Sig Rogich will be backing a Republican for some office in this state. The man has lost all credibility with me. If you publicly back an extreme left wing, liberal, spend and tax Democrat in the media and by word of mouth, you are an exact carbon copy of that candidate. Rogich will change his perspective in a heartbeat. Just like any good whore, A whore will lead you to believe she loves you, for a quickie, an hour or even all night. well that's what Sig Rogich is. A whore. He promotes and supports all and any that are good for HIM. Not you.
LMAO! Crago is a frequenter of whores....He says his sister is a whore.............LMAO!!!
Well, it is a free country..All except for Crago. He pays for it...LMAO!!
Senator Reid days are numbered, The best friend illegal aliens ever had. we need politicians who will help clean up D.C, and rid this country of unlawful illegal immigrants, Senator Reid is just another corrupt politician, he has to go. He is no different the Bush.

Flag Pmontg.. You are lying..That's another trumped up story. I know who you are...stop the lying b**S***...nice try.
----------------------------------
You don't know me; I have no reason to lie to you or anyone.On one of your post you said that people dislike obama because of his race, I told you that was not the case, and as a Black American I will never vote for anyone who will not protect the unborn, or who is a gate keeper for so-called gay rights. Both abortion, and so-called gay rights are abominations of the Lord. I have a right, and duty to God to take a stand on these issues, and anyone who professes to be a Christian should never vote for a politician who supports these two issues. The way we treat the unborn is some what of a moral compass or where our hearts are. Did you know the ancient cities of Sodom, and gomorrah were destroyed because of Homosexuals trying to have sex with the Men, or Angels that God sent to destroy the cities? Genesis 19:4 as they prepared to retire for the night, all of the men of Sodom, young and old came from all over the city and sorrounded the house, they told Lot to send out the men who were inside the house so that they could have sex with them... This is an abomination.
Most Democrats supports abortion, and so-called gay rights, when Bill Clinton signed that partial birth abortion bill, I changed to the Republican party.National security is very important, and Senator Reid does not care about national security, he even stood up with the President of Mexico, against the Governer of Arizona for protection the Citizens of that state, Atleast Sharron Angle is against illegal aliens invading this country, nothing racist about protecting your country, there is a right way to come into this country. Illegal aliens and there children should be sent back to where ever they came from.
http://www.100abortionpictures.com
thesunwill: I don't know what your race is, but I do know that the black race is deminishing at a very fast rate: Black women have 40% of all the abortions in the united states, yet we are 12% of population. Most black leaders on Democrats. Black Republicans who cares about this country,and issues that affect us negetively are uniting to stop the madness. We are living in a very sick society, and only Christ is the answer. God Work through His people. When all of these Political games are over, those who know Christ will stand.
http://blackgenocide.org
I agree with pmontg53...Killing babies is an abomination. It has nothing to do with religion or Jesus Christ or President Clinton, Obama, Bush etc etc.
It has everything to do with self-respect. Whether a woman is raped or incestually impregnated or just the usual teenage indiscretion there is no good reason to kill an unborn child. I personally see nothing wrong with going full term and delivering a baby. The female body was designed to give birth. Giving birth is a natural function of a human female. Abortion is not. Abortion begats bad self image. Regardless of what a woman says about it afterward she feels just awful about it. Murdering babies should be criminal. Too bad it isn't.
I say we should remove the stigma of a pregnant teenager. Sexuality is a normal symptom of young females, males too. We think nothing of it when we see teenagers eating food. It's normal. Hunger is normal. Well so is the sex drive. Big deal the girl gets preggie, it does not reflect badly on her character. It just means she succumbed to a normal bodily function. When you remove the stigma of teen pregnancy you encourage a full term delivery. Once the baby arrives you will be surprised how many people will want to love and care for it. After all the baby has as much right to life as you do.
Did Harry Reid pull strings to protect aide from felony charges in immigration conspiracy?
http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2010/10......
I wonder how the so called prominent Republicans feel now that Sharron Angle leads Reid by four percentage points in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, 49% to 45%. Just 2% are undecided and 4% like some other candidate, according to the poll, released a week before Election Day.
