Foolish mistake. I'm glad they will no longer back her.
PACs for Reid started running ads praising Angle and slamming Lowden.
I didn't know that, figures.
. Reid will be tough to beat in 2016. Remember we could have defeated Reid in 1998, but Ensign lost be 428 votes!
Now there was a race were fraud was well more than the difference. So close. And then he shamefully got a pass in 2004.
Also the UFC (Ultimate Fighting) backed Reid.
I'm a fan of the sport (MMA) but I don't buy their PPVs. Corrupt bastards, the casinos are even worse. Ironically they've been unable to get the sport legal in NY, were the boxing people are bribing Speaker Sheldon Silver to keep them out.
Who to run in 2016, Amoedi? Heck? Krolicki?
Reid remains a viscerally unpopular figure, even in Nevada. I’ve said many times he would’ve been beaten by any Republican in 2010, even a ficus plant, except for one person, and that was the fiasco known as Sharron Angle.
Reid will be 77 in 2016, and there might even be an outside chance he doesn’t run again. If the GOP is determined to win the seat with little problem, the heavyweight would be Gov. Sandoval (provided the Republican nominee wins the Lt Gov race in 2014, since Krolicki is term-limited). Obviously, Krolicki or Reps. Amodei or Heck would also be acceptable (although I’ll admit a worry that if Amodei runs, Angle might try to go for his seat, and would predictably lose it if she gets the nomination, despite it being a reliably GOP district).
It’s probably a good thing Ensign stepped down when he did and allowed Sandoval to appoint Heller, as that may have given Heller a bit of a leg up on the Reid flunkie that he just narrowly beat last year.
