Harry M. Reid needed money, and lots of it. Last spring, the Senate majority leader was looking ahead to a tough reelection fight. Polls showed that the voters back home in Nevada who sent him to Washington four times had tired of him. Republican Party fundraisers had all but declared him their No. 1 target for defeat. Taking them on would be expensive, and he wasn't drawing nearly enough cash from contributors inside Nevada. So Reid did what politicians in his position do: He picked up the phone.

Scumbag.
Hey Harry: Don’t bother building the “war” chest...as a senator from Nevada once said, “THE WAR IS LOST.”
The powers of incumbency. The greatest reason for a universal set of term limits.

Reid’s opponent should be using the video of Reid accusing Gen Petraeus of reporting things that were not true? He should be pressed to back up that statements now, or retract it publicly.
Let alone priority of a politician placed upon the next election instead of the job they were elected to do.
Reid’s opponent should be using the video of Reid accusing Gen Petraeus of reporting things that were not true—in other words, of lying. He should be pressed to back up that statements now that the success of the war is in Petraeus’ hands, or to retract it publicly.
All the money he can raise still wont help him. He’s toast.
Just think, if you are a union member - anywhere in the country - part of your dues will go to help re-elect Harry Reid.
Its the only way i can to actually make them work for the people and not for special interests which includes their own.
Exactly what fiscal liberal Republicrat Roy Blunt is doing in the Missouri Senate race. Out of state fundraising. But he has to make it first past an Aug 3rd a primary against an underfunded Constitutional Conservative Republican named Chuck Purgason.
What a pathetic piece of trash!He will lose this no matter how much crocked money he raises..
Who does Reid think he is, Scott Brown?
*Brown got lots of cash from outside his state; it was important to many “the Kennedy Seat” be won by an R.
Dirty Harry was running very expensive TV ads as early as last Sept- Oct here in Nevada. I suspect it drained his coffers quite a bit, but then, he can strong arm many people all across the nation.
We desperately need to get him out of the Senate.
All the money he can raise still wont help him. He’s toast.””
I sincerely hope he is toast as a Senator-—but I believe that he can keep the money donated to him. He is not required to return it.
Bookmarked her for donating soon. I am going to donate only to conservative candidates. No RNC.
