If 60% support this guy, how do they keep reelecting Reid??

Reid is a LIAR who is not going to run for re-election again.

Reid brings home pork. And he ran essentially unopposed (just like Ensign is running this year). Ensigns opposition will get less votes than Reid's opponent did 2 years ago.

And yes, these is at least a 50/50 chance that Reid will not run again. But if he doesn't run, his son will. Mark my words. If Harry Reid decides to retire, his son Rory Reid will be on the ticket and he will basically get a Hillary Comes To NY type of primary clear out and no real opposition on the Dim side.

Also, you have to remember that Reid ran as a pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-property rights, fiscal conservative. With Tom Daschle around, Reid wasn't on TV all the time and his political cross dressing up in D.C. wasn't obvious to people who don't follow politics like we do.

The republicans did not support the republican running against Reid.

Also, Reid ran on the platform of "Independent Like Nevada." Now you can stop laughing, get off the floor, and back in your chair.

Nevada is an interesting state. Outside of Las Vegas, which is becoming more and more liberal the state is fairly conservative. The influx of Kalifornians into both Vegas and Reno, plus the influx of people seeking union jobs into Vegas is having an effect on state politics. I wouldn't be surprised to see the state turn democrat in the next decade.

Very good question. Maybe Reid should be checking his current poll numbers. Harry "We killed the Patriot Act" Reid is an embarrassment to the the people of Nevada and a blight on the United States Senate.
