Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is prepared to run a sharply negative campaign if that’s what it takes to win reelection next year, with a top adviser predicting that the Nevada Democrat will “vaporize” his Republican challengers with attack ads.
Trailing in the polls and under constant attack from the GOP, Reid’s campaign has just launched a warm-and-fuzzy million-dollar ad campaign to reintroduce the veteran senator to his constituents. But Reid’s team also wants to be the one that introduces lesser-known opponents to the electorate — and will be ready, when the time comes, to unleash a torrent of ads branding challengers as untested and unprepared for the job.
Now in the campaign’s sites: Sue Lowden, a wealthy gaming executive, former state senator and former chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party, and Danny Tarkanian, a Las Vegas businessman and the son of legendary basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian.
“I expect him to vaporize Lowden or Tarkanian or whoever is the opponent,” said a Reid adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss campaign strategy.

"Who can post the Harry Reid “Nevada horse crap” painting?" You mean there's some Dingy Harry artwork floating 'round out there, Welly?
Pray-tell, would love to view this portrait of the bottom feeder supreme! LOL

Ah but it takes an aggressive GOP plan, turnout to overcome a Dem registration advantage. It can be done but it will take the opponent to let the vaporization go over his back and just hit the media outlets, the public, the airwaves with Reid’s socialist pacifist agenda and go out with cheer to take over that seat.

This puke is the poster child for garbage faced commies.

Not sure he is beatable.
Reid is a made man. He is the Vegas mob’s man and regardless of the vote count, Reid will be the winner.

That would make a very nice billboard.

How to beat Harry Reid:
1. Find where he keeps his coffin.
2. Come there during daylight.
3. Drive stake through heart.
4. Duck and cover for inevitable hurricane wind and breaking glass.
5. Win election by default.

6. Keep .44 Magnum revolver with silver bullets handy, just for backup.

All this talk of "vaporizing" makes me think of 1984.

Really now, Harry's not so young! May whatever he wishes for his opponent come to pass for him instead.
To: LeonardFMason
When it becomes more about keeping him in power than about serving the best interests of Nevada IT IS TIME FOR HARRY TO GO HOME. There is one slight problem...HOME doesn't want Harry!
