Here’s a little good news for your Sunday afternoon, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
It’s the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada voters.
The results suggest the Democratic Senate majority leader will have to punch hard and often in order to retain his position as the most accomplished politician in state history, in terms of job status.
Nevadans favored Tarkanian over Reid 49 percent to 38 percent and Lowden over Reid 45 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.
Nevada’s current 13% unemployment rate isn’t doing Reid any favors, either.
I think the GOP has a very real and likely chance of putting Sen. Harry Reid on the unemployment line. Now, we just have to find a way to get rid of Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, and Dick Durbin.

Scared Monkeys: “Think there is not an anti-Incumbent wave in the air, especially against Democrats who have supported the $787 Stimulus and Obamacare? Think again”
Just as his [Reid] predecessor as Democratic Senate leader, Tom Daschle, learned, voters back home don’t care how much personal power a senator has in Washington.
They want someone to serve them, not the elites in Washington.
With the current administration admonishing others not to go to Las Vegas for conferences and conventions, Reid is toast, and the SEIU chumps that helped hijack the elections in Vegas will be on the unemployment line.
I had some clients come back from Vegas several weeks ago. They attend the same convention each year, and they said the attendance was down by half from last year. The hotel where they stayed was $99 a night, when it was $600 a night one year ago, and they said over half the casino was curtained off and dark.
Nov 2010 can’t get here soon enough.
