Obama's Nevada Immigration Speech May Be Early Boost For Harry Reid

By MICHAEL A. MEMOLI

Was President Obama's Nevada immigration speech a Harry Reid campaign kickoff? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he'll keep fighting for comprehensive immigration bill

At the behest of some Senate Democrats worried about the political fallout, President Obama held off earlier this year from announcing his new immigration policy.

But as he rallied Nevada supporters around a plan to spare more than 4 million immigrants from deportation, some could not help but wonder whether an earlier announcement might have boosted Democrats' chances in this month's midterm election, when the party lost the Senate majority and seats in the House.

Reid will lose the title of Senate majority leader when Republicans assume control of the chamber in January, but hopes to take it right back after 2016. To do so, he has to win a new six-year term of his own. And many on hand at Del Sol High School said that Obama's immigration speech was the kickoff event for Reid's reelection bid.

Steel...I just posted about Silva...the poster gal they're using for a sob story on illegals...she was actively working for the Democratic Party..and helped Reid get re-elected. This is the same gal Obama just flaunted in his speech and then put her at the podium to do her thing.

So this has all been carefully choreographed and one hand feeds the other...all about elections...

Here she is on stage, groomed by Democrates since 2009 to play her role

And here in April receiving award for her activism

In 2011 immigration was ready to take her father for deportation..she called Reid and had it deferred til 2014

It’s never too early to tell LIVs what to think.

Even if last week they told us all that Reid was fit to be tied with obama. They weren’t even talking to each other.

It’s so sad that there are soooo many brainwashed people who will believe whatever the establishment wants them to believe. This is the weakest link in our country (what’s left of it).
