Harry Reid's favored candidate to keep his Senate seat in the Democratic column is in many ways a stark contrast with himself: a Latina prosecutor who has only run one competitive political race in her career.
Yet Democrats are abuzz about former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, who Reid essentially endorsed Friday. She won both of her campaigns for attorney general—including one in 2010 that she rendered basically uncompetitive—by more than 15 percentage points and has family lineage in state politics. Reid worked during his Senate career to promote change within his state party as its electorate grew more diverse, and Masto personifies the coalition on which Democrats now rely.
"The person I've spoken to today is Catherine Masto—Cortez Masto," Reid said on public radio just hours after announcing his retirement plans. "She has a great résumé. … I hope she decides to run.
"If she does, I'm gonna help her," Reid continued, saying: "I think it'd be hard for her to lose."

I don’t think she can beat Gov. Sandoval, should he decide to run.
Adam definitely has it in his blood.
A Basque surname of that renown is a good thing to have in Nevada. Little experience but dead bang right on all the issues.
That pic of Masto looks like the one of a glowering Paul Joseph Goebbels, and for the same reason.
“Don’t take my picture!!”
GLOWERING yes well put...
Goebells...had the look...obie has the look...and this New Face...has the look.
She was succeeded by Republican Paul Laxalt in 2014.
Laxalt defeated Democrat Ross Miller, despite Miller's name recognition as Secretary of State during the previous term.
Miller also won his last reelection in 2010 by 16 percentage points.
If I were a Nevada Democrat, I'd be really worried. They may be on the way down the road of Texas Democrats.
Personally I like the idea of another Senator Laxalt. If Reagan had selected the last one as VP (as his wife recommended) the world would have been changed for the better.
Which branch of the military did Beers decide to serve in? The Wiki article didn’t reference any.
Repeat a lie often enough...
Who’s the best on amnesty?
All the Congressman and current office holders seem to be pro amnesty.
I wish I had a definitive answer to that. I’m not sure.
