That's exactly right - a wounded Reid is easier to beat.

We were counting on beating Countrywide Chris Dodd, then he drops out and that changes the game in CT. The same thing happened (through chicanery) in NJ with the switcheroo they played when the Torch was going to lose badly.

You might be right. I think Ensign knows the GOP is better off with Reid staying. Reid is in such bad shape that we want him to stay.

If Reid defaults now, the Democrats can run a false “conservative” and hold the seat. Somebody like Ben Nelson

That is exactly the sentiment here in Northern Nevada. I was ready to start a recall campaign but after consideration Harry is worth more in place and humiliated in November.
