You had her as a big underdog before this?
Yes, I thought that it was unlikely that Berkley could beat Heller in 2012. That PPP poll showing a dead heat was ridiculous—Heller is up by at least 6%, and Berkley is already a known quantity who is unlikely to make up the difference. And now, of course, she’s taken a kidney punch (ha!) and her odds may be going from slim to none.
Nevada conservatives should form a “grassroots Democrat” group urging Berkley to step aside and encourage Steven Horsford to abandon his House race in NV-04 and run for the Senate instead. Heller would stomp Horsford, and the NV-04 would go from tilt Democrat to a dead heat.
