The most powerful Democrat in Congress could be unseated for the first time in nearly 3 decades.
Posted: Mar 3, 2015
The most powerful Democrat in Congress could face his toughest reelection race yet next year.
Last week Gravis Insights released a new poll of Minority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nevada) 2016 race and found him trailing two lesser-known challengers: state Attorney General Adam Laxalt (R) and former Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki (R).
Gravis has a poor track record as a pollster, but its results here are in line with other surveys that have repeatedly suggested Reid could be the most vulnerable Democratic senator up for reelection this cycle.
However, operatives on the both sides of the aisle constantly warn against underestimating Reid, a former boxer who is never afraid to deliver surprising blows in his reelection battles. Indeed, veteran Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston said in a February article in Politico Magazine that Reid could never be counted out.
"All other things being equal, Harry Reid cannot win re-election. He is physically and politically battered. He has added more baggage since the miracle of 2010 than has passed through Dulles," Ralston wrote. "But all other things are never equal when it comes to Harry Reid, who specializes in near-death experiences and who always seems down but never is out."
Republicans are most eager to recruit Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) into the Senate race, but the popular and relatively moderate governor has appeared reluctant to challenge Reid so far. According to Ralston, Reid's most likely foe is state Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson (R), who was not included in the Gravis poll.
Then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) also faced a tough reelection race in 2014, and polls similarly indicated he was unpopular in his home state. He ultimately won easily against Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) and is now the majority leader.

It is WAY past time for this moldy politician to retire; he is more physically and mentally disabled than ever before.

Not gonna happen - NevadaCitizen
[ In Reply To ..]Dingy has been extremely unpopular for man years, the casinos own him and they do whatever corrupt thing they need to do to keep him in Washington. Last election, his opponent ahead by about six percentage points the evening before the election, yet Dingy Harry still won. I think you can estimate the size of the fraud by looking at how much his son, Rory, lost his run for govenor. Nevada will never be rid of Harry.
Let's all just hope. The country will be a better place - nm

It's Time To Re-think Immunity For Members Of CongressApr 04, 2015
I think we're all tired of politicians lying to us. When they do so in their "official" capacity, i.e. from the floor of either chamber of Congress, they are immune from prosecution, lawsuits, etc. I'm thinking, of course, about the lies Harry Reid told about Mitt Romney not paying his taxes, but he's certainly neither the sole nor the founding member of the Liar's Club in Congress. I also think that governmental officials such as Lois Lerner should have no ...
Long-time Democrat Pollster And Staunch Clinton Defender Says Oct 30, 2016
Doug Schoen dropped this bombshell on Fox this evening. He explained that it's a matter of governance and stability. In his view, Hillary Clinton would not be able to govern because of the ongoing slough of criminal investigations and likely indictment or indictments that would cripple a Clinton presidency at a time when the nation is in crisis both domestically and internationally. Anyone who's followed Schoen knows this is a very significant indicator of how the revival of Clinton ...

My society in L.A. was mostly white, mostly born and raised there, but with plenty of variety, like our Japanese-American neighbors, the black guy in the next office with a passion for French antiques, a Turkish friend whose wistful descripions of the farm she grew up on sound like a little paradise, the accountant who's probably gay, a Yemeni-American manager with a terrific ...

Now they are running candidates for President and Vice President. Romney came under their influence when he accepted ALEC's candidate Paul Ryan as his running mate, and with him th ...

From The Atlantic: "Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker doesn't like unions, and unions don't like him. But the most remarkable thing about Walker's relationship to labor isn't that he thinks unions are worthless -- most Republicans agree -- but that he thinks about them, at all. Today, unions have been swept into dusty corners of the U.S. workforce, such as Las Vegas casino cleaners and New York City hotel staff. For much of the 20th century, things were different. A ...

Every one of them has serious flaws, either of character, personality, world view, experience, or philosophy - and in most cases more than one of these - that I simply cannot stomach. In my experience, it's always a choice between the lesser of two evils, but this election cycle seems to have brought out a spectacularly miserable collection of candidates. And yes, Sanders and Trump supporters, I mean them too - or perhaps especially them too. It looks like I'll be sitting on my ...
