Harry Reid is “on the ropes”

Signs of real Hope and Change from Nevada!

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.

Reid’s status makes him an icon of the Democratic Party and ties him to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Barack Obama, both of whom are losing ground among centrist and right-leaning voters in the country.

    If you had read the whole article you would have sen dingy Harry hopes to 25 million dollar war chest and the Mexican equivalent of acorn to do the voodoo that they do so well.
    What that means is that there will be 6 million votes counted out of the 2 million registered voters in the state

    That was precisely my point in response #11.

    No worries folks. We’re going to be opening a section of the Nuclear Waste Dump for former Democratic senators and congressmen. We’ll store them there because they won’t be needed in Congress any longer. Either Tark or Lowden (my preference) would do fine. They are real conservatives not faux ones.

    Think back on all the groups you’ve ever been in: boy / girl scouts, team sports, high school band, college frat or sorority, project teams at work, church groups, civic organizations, etc. etc. etc.

    Would you ever have elected a loser like Harry Reid (or Nancy Pelosi) as the leader of any of those groups?

    If you look closely ar Reid’s forehead you can see the unmistakable outline of the letters i-d-i-o-t. And this guy is the Senate Majority Leader. Yeah, I have a lot of respect for congress.

    I hope the voters of Nevada send Reid packing. Let him go home and cook up some more crooked land deals and let the rest of us try to get back to living productive lives.

    At least Danny Tarkanian has already been ‘through the ringer’ receiving a $50K jury award thusfar in a libel suit he made against democrat Mike Schneider.

    If Schneider had found something of substance in Danny’s past, (like he kissed his ex wife in public a la Jack Ryan…), you can be certain we would already know about it.

    Unfortunately, Reid has over a year to get the votes he needs for re-election. It’s too early to celebrate yet. But, we can certainly be hopeful.

    Only Dashle getting the boot would be more gratifying than Reid and Pelosi being sent out to pasture. Here’s hoping that there’s still enough triple-digit IQs in Nevada and San Francisco to get rid of those Marxist morons.

    #107: On the ropes. He used to be a boxer. Mark Levin, on his show, likes to call him Harry “The Body” Reid.

    It’s a shame that this fight has to go all the way to November 2010. I wish that an election could K.O. him right now, kind of like a well-delivered boxing punch.

    Just moments ago, on KXNT 840 AM, I was able to hear a PRO Harry Reid ad from none other than the NEA.

    I knew it would not be long before the usual suspects would line up to support thier own. Funny how this hapens.
