LAS VEGAS — Harry Reid’s reelection is more than two years off, but the Koch brothers’ political machine is already methodically laying the groundwork that will be used to try to take him out.
The efforts in recent months have been largely subterranean, but they are unmistakable. A handful of nonprofit groups in the vast political network helmed by allies of the conservative billionaires Charles and David Koch have established or expanded permanent ground operations in Reid’s backyard. Focused on wooing key demographics like Latinos and veterans, they’ve also paid for ads assailing the Senate Democratic leader.
Reid, meanwhile, is ramping up his home-state political operation, quietly moving to undercut Koch-backed operations here, as well as working to neutralize potential GOP opponents.
Intensifying and complicating the competition is that allies of Reid and the Koch are assiduously courting the wild-card donor who could dictate the terms of his race, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. He is a friend and constituent of Reid’s, but sources say Koch operatives raised more than $20 million from him in 2012, and they’re working to secure additional funding.

Let us pray that it works this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s possible Ol’ Harry could be dead by then. We keep electing people until they just die. It’s crazy.
In your neck of the woods.
Harry Reid is a Mafioso gangster with absolutely no limits. I doubt whether anyone can take him out. It’s certainly been tried many times.
I’m not saying it shouldn’t be tried again—but it will take some kind of miracle, I think, to succeed.
God should just take Harry all the way out. Horse manure has more value than Reid.
I hope they beat that slimy little putrescent worm into jelly.
I cannot think of a more sleazy human being...that is, if one wants to consider the Reid-thing a human being.
With a stick?
Along with “Casino Republican” Sheldon Adelson, the Koch Brothers helped Nevada become 28% Hispanic.
And now they want to defeat Harry Reid?
I think Harry is already dead... he’s proof zombies exist and have infiltrated the highest levels of government.
When I read the headlines, I thought, with a wooden or aluminum bat?
If only this were a declarative sentence rather than a descriptive one...
Evidence being current ads here in Michigan directed at the GOP Senate hopeful Terry Lynn Land, and out of state oil billionaires, the Koch brothers, trying to buy the election for her......
I’ve got my own ideas on beating Harry Reid.
Lead pipe, baseball bat, brass knuckle, billy club, sand wedge, ballpean hammer, tire iron, 24” long 1/2” drive breaker bar, large stick, bare fists...
if the DemocRATs lose the U.S. Senate I foresee Reid retiring rather than stay and get kicked around.
Just go back to search light and crawl back under that rock ya came from ya POS.
Real disappointed in this misleading headline,
“The Kochs Brothers’ plan to beat Harry Reid”!
I was going to send the Koch Brothers a Lousiville slugger
With which to “beat” harry with.
