I don’t think it would have mattered who ran against Reid, he is so corrupt and connected he would have found a way to win no matter what. I was there at the showdown in Searchlight and one of the local conservative politico’s made it clear, no matter how bad it looks for Reid, he is going to be very hard to beat because he is one mean and nasty junkyard dog. I shrugged it off at the time amidst the Tea Party crowd bashing Reid and having high hopes of his dismissal, but it looks like he was absolutely right.

No. Ried was toast if we made this election only about him. Period. End of story. The only reason he won was because the race was not just about him....but about Angle, to. She was awful and was not ready for "prime time" so to speak. It was foolishness that she won our primary. It cost us.

But still, on the whole last night was an incredibly victory overall for our side. A huge, huge loss right at Obama (compare last night to 2002 or 2004, where the Country backed GWB and we gained seats). Obama lost 60 + seats in the House and 6 in the Senate. Huge losses in total.
