WASHINGTON -- During his whirlwind visit to Las Vegas two weeks ago, President Barack Obama mentioned U.S. Sen. Harry Reid by name four dozen times, gave him a big hug and talked him up as if he was a long-lost brother.

In remarks that could not have been more laudatory, Obama repeatedly characterized the veteran Democratic leader as a man "made of very strong stuff" who was making the right decisions for the state back in the nation's capital.

7% more likely to vote for Reid, 17% less likely, the article says.

Obambi’s band of thugs are going down HARD in November.

[psjones]

Net effect is that 10% more say they are less likely to vote for Reid.

[ConservativeStatement]

The 7% figure is embarrassingly low.

“This is a good man. Where else can you find a guy who you know will do my bidding even though he knows it will cost him his job?”

Its -21bama’s “Martha-Coakley” Charm that did it.

A political boost for Reid "wasn't the intent of the visit," Reid spokesman Jon Summers said.

Damage control. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

If I were a betting man, I’d probably be willing to bet the House goes GOP for sure, and the Senate goes to no more than a 2-seat Dem majority (including Lieberman and Sanders).

[TCH]

I’d like to know more about the 75 percent, who realized “no effect” on their view.

[demkicker]

So typical of the marxist media to make the headline of the story as giving Reid a bump of 7%, while 17% are less likely to vote for him after big O’s catastrophic summit and 75% of the public could care less.

Thanks to him and his bet for USA, we lost!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

A larger percentage of voters surveyed (17 percent) said they would be less likely to vote for Reid following the president's visit than said they would be more likely to vote for him (7 percent).

No comment needed. But, this is hugh!

[ConservativeStatement]

I put the words in parentheses. I should have put “only” in the title.

[LA Conservative]

Hell has a place for traitors like Reid and 0dinga.

“If I were a betting man, I’d probably be willing to bet the House goes GOP for sure, and the Senate goes to no more than a 2-seat Dem majority (including Lieberman and Sanders).”

Dare we dream? If so, I’m with you.

But..what will the GOP DO with a majority again? P*ss it away, as History has shown us? Maybe not, if they’re TRULY listening to The People.

[KoRn]

According to the poll, 17% were LESS likely to vote for Reid.

Hopefully 0bama will go out there and campaign a few more times between now and November.

[Outlaw Woman]

Can you believe this????? If true, this nation truly is doomed because people are willing to grasp at anything as long as it sounds good and tickles their ears.
