Obama plans Las Vegas getaway to help Harry Reid get big money

Harry Reid's no slouch in the fundraising department, with $3.3 million already on hand for next year's reelection campaign, which has thus far drawn lots of press too. And no viable opponent from the state's battered Republican Party. Still, in politics these days you can never have too much money, as someone showed last fall by raising $750 million, which is even more than those outrageous AIG bonuses. Now Happy Harry's bringing in Bette. And Sheryl. And some guy named Barack.

All in the name of Money.

And what better way for a new Democratic administration to symbolize cutting out excess in a time of hardship for millions of Americans than to hold a mega-fundraiser in Las Vegas, that urban personification of understatement, for a guy with millions in hand already and no one to spend it against?

Since he is the head of the Senate he shouldn’t need Obama to fund raise for him? Things must not be good for Reid?

[Paine in the Neck]

Hey Nevada! There's your next Tea Party venue. Let 'em have it!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

And Sarah Palin gets an ethics complaint for having a PAC?

[passionfruit]

Obama must have no faith in Reid’s ability to win votes with a good record in the Senate and his personal charisma.

Go figure!

[ladyvet]

Wooo Hooo! This POS is coming to Elko! If I’m not in a Fema camp by then I will be part of his welcoming party!

[SevenofNine]

So in other words Obama is that dude from Casino pay respect to the bosses or ELSE

[DPMD]

Fundraising? What crap! Write him a stimulus for about three, four tril, save the trip.
