Dear Republican U.S. Senate Candidates,
We get it.
Harry Reid’s bad. He’s a liberal carrying water for Barack Obama. He wants to nationalize our health care system. He said the war in Iraq was “lost.” He’s forsaken the interests of Nevada to advance the interests of the far left in Washington, DC. He’s boring. He’s pale. He’s old. He has suspicious land deals. He had ties to Jack Abramoff. He’s in the pocket of Big Labor. His polling numbers are weak. He’s vulnerable. Blah, blah, blah.
We get it.
And if you are a Republican campaigning for the nomination to run against Reid next year, or are considering such a run, we stipulate for the record that every one of you are more conservative than Reid and would vote very differently from him if elected.
We get it.
So can we dispense with the formalities and get down to the nitty-gritty: How are you going to beat him?
Signed,
Nevada Voters

Harry Reid (D) next year:

Despite ethically questionable calls to bankers urging them to be “fair” in considering a billion dollar-plus loan request for the MGM Mirage by Senate Majority Harry Reid (D) – the second most powerful man in the U.S. government – the casino giant has been unable to raise the funding it says it needs to complete the CityCenter mega-resort on the Las Vegas Strip. And according to the Wall Street Journal the company “is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing that could bring the massive project to a halt.”
Tell me again why Harry Reid’s “clout” as the Senate Majority Leader is so important to Nevada?
On Sunday the Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Howard Stutz wrote that MGM Mirage majority shareholder, founder and board member Kirk Kerkorian “and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a close friend, have been calling financial institutions to try and raise the remaining $1.2 billion needed to complete the $9.1 billion City Center development.”

“News that U.S. Attorney Greg Brower is leaving after all – if not now, sometime in the next few months – will surely lead to speculation that he may consider a race against U.S. Sen. Harry Reid,” reported political pundit Jon Ralston in his “Flash” e-newsletter on March 5. “I think Brower, a former assemblyman who understands politics, could be a formidable contender against Reid. But he has to want to do it, and he would have to make that intention known soon.”
