Republican State Sen. Mark Amodei kicked off his campaign for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Harry Reid today, telling reporters that he’ll run a positive campaign in the crowded primary, but that plenty of people in Nevada want to get rid of the incumbent.

“When you look at where Nevada is right now, I think we’re at a financial crossroads. We do not need the status quo,” said Amodei, who is from Carson City. “The focus really needs to be on Nevada right now.”

Pretty good I think. People are fed up. But Reid has a way of surviving and should never be counted out.

He’s still in the hunt. The primary will be interesting.

Who cares if Amodei is a (R)! What Nevadians ought to make sure of is before they vote is Amodei a Conservative?

A moderate or rino will be useless to us all!

You would have to at least vote twice to cancel out an Acorn’s member vote out.

So who’s the conservative?

Tarkanian, Lowden, or Amodei?

These guys had better make it a clean primary fight. Keep their eyes on the prize and remember it’s not about them.

Don’t start the chest pounding. Defeating Reid is the goal.

From what I have heard, very good. The people of Nevada hate him.

Has Tarkanian run several times before? If so I would rather have someone new.

That’s yet to be seen. Amodei has voted for tax increases. Lowden hasn’t done much for the Republican cause in NV. Tarkanian has lost elections.

Look, if you don't get it by now, you never will! Defeating Reid is not the goal, it's an objective. Go ahead, try to defeat Reid with a rino what will you acheive other than the same or more destruction of a conservative agenda? That John McCain thing really worked out well didn't it?

Chest pumping conservative making absolutely no apologies to you luke warm lilly supporters who are so ignorantly clueless, or just plain spiteful because someone has an (R) by their name.

In this race, it’s the goal. No other outcome is possible. Reid is vulnerable and must be defeated. Let’s hope for a lively GOP primary, but I expect you to support whomever the GOP challenger is. I don’t want to see the typical chest-pounding and personal smearing of the perceived “RINO” boogiemen by the CINOs.

Oh, I get it.

Maybe that’s why he changed his look.

It’s a huge advantage when you have the majority media on your side, no?
