Will Harry Reid retire at the end of this year?/
In the end, I don't believe Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will run for re-election. Whether or not the health care bill he muscled through the Senate becomes law, the 70-year-old will bow out of his race for a fifth term.
The major reason has nothing to do with his many verbal gaffes, the latest of which exploded over the weekend. The simple fact is that he probably can't win re-election -- almost no incumbent senator as far down in the polls has come back to win. Asked if Mr. Reid is finished, NBC Political Director Chuck Todd said yesterday, "I think so. I do -- absolutely."
A new Mason-Dixon survey of Nevada voters finds Mr. Reid's favorable rating at just 33%, with 60% of voters disapproving of his role in the health-care debate. He trails three major GOP opponents jostling to run against him in their party's primary. He loses 50% to 40% to former GOP state chair Sue Lowden, to real estate developer Danny Tarkanian by 49% to 41%, and by 45% to 40% to former state legislator Sharron Angle. Extensive media buys by Mr. Reid to showcase his record of Senate accomplishment have done nothing to move his poll numbers.
Nevada political observers say Democrats are making contingency plans in case Mr. Reid leaves office, possibly recruiting one of the state's two Democratic congresswomen to replace him. There's even talk of coaxing former Democratic Senator and Nevada Governor Richard Bryan out of retirement to run.

Reid will re-zoom his former job as restroom attendant.
Harry will join Dash-hole as a Wal Mart greeter.
He will win an oscar in 2012 for his documentary which calls for global taxes and regulations to fight global cooling.
Stuff him and put him into a museum.
The downside is Schumer takes his place, I’m not sure, but Schumer seems more capable. Not that the bar is very high.
Harry doesn’t care if he wins. As long as he is around to vote for the Socialist agenda of Obama, that’s all that matters to him. If he somehow can drag down his son ? That would indeed be a plus.
Hope the smack down is hard enough that his son feels it too.
How hypocracy works....Harry makes a racial remark, black leaders jump infront of the train to protect the “old white guy” Imus makes a racial remark and has to beg for forgiveness, looses his job, has to pay omage to all black leaders alive and dead. Clinton, kennedy, byrd, and Biden all make racial remarks ...oh their only joking the black caucus, NAACP all come out to protect their positions at the big table by supporting the real racists. Harry’s a mormon, no one has a problem with that but oh that Romney ..”heeee’s a mmmormon!!! Black America has been taken for a ride by thiese liars for over 40 years and whats worse is thier own kind, the NAACP and th BLACK CAUSCUS are feeding on thier own. Wake up people
He wouldn’t dare not run and take away my chance to vote and throw that son of a bitch out of office next November.
LOL! Nice one, no don’t send either one any money.
I have been to the one-and-only gas station in Searchlight.
I stood in front of Harry Reid’s picture and I let everyone there know why he should no longer be in office.
Harry POS RACIST Reid BUMP!
