“Some of these folks need to take a shot at the other NV races, statewide and the 2 Congressional seats. Those are all important, too.”
You make a good point. Things is, a longtime incumbent with an approval rating of under 40% is a very inviting target. Of course, they may not last. Reid will raise about $25 million, and that kind of money can change a lot of minds.
Short of using that money to directly buy votes, I don’t envision any scenario where Reid keeps his job.
