The most powerful Democrat in Congress could be unseated for the first time in nearly 3 decades

Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) is wearing special glasses as he recovers from injuries suffered in an exercise accident in December. The most powerful Democrat in Congress could face his toughest reelection race yet next year.

Last week Gravis Insights released a new poll of Minority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nevada) 2016 race and found him trailing two lesser-known challengers: state Attorney General Adam Laxalt (R) and former Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki (R).

Gravis has a poor track record as a pollster, but its results here are in line with other surveys that have repeatedly suggested Reid could be the most vulnerable Democratic senator up for reelection this cycle.

However, operatives on the both sides of the aisle constantly warn against underestimating Reid, a former boxer who is never afraid to deliver surprising blows in his reelection battles. Indeed, veteran Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston said in a February article in Politico Magazine that Reid could never be counted out.

"All other things being equal, Harry Reid cannot win re-election. He is physically and politically battered. He has added more baggage since the miracle of 2010 than has passed through Dulles," Ralston wrote. "But all other things are never equal when it comes to Harry Reid, who specializes in near-death experiences and who always seems down but never is out."

Reid's got the corrupt casinos in his back pocket, which is how he always pulls out his close elections.

Still, it's nice to see him losing in a poll.

It’s time for Dingy Harry to retire and go home to spend more time with his money.

Why hasn’t Reid sued the exercise bike manufacturer? Sounds like product liability.

Harry should have stolen enough by now to be able to retire.

Reminds me of when SNL was funny and Richard Dryfus did a skit on Jaws...."this was no boating accident!" and promptly unveils a ham & cheese sandwich.

there are two reasons he is still a senator; the mob owns him and vote fraud.

They don’t mention Bob Beers, a better candidate than Krolicki or Laxalt (who has no experience).

I am updating my bio of Harry Reid, it is the only one out there. So much corruption. Many bribes.

Harry’s “exercise machine” accident was actually a beating he got from some of the more forceful of the mob voices he represents, it was just a little reminder that those who lose position have a problem with continued longevity.

Harry is a marked man, still walking, but who knows when that may end. You don’t retire in this game.

He also rounds up all the illegal aliens and has them vote for him. That’s how he stole the last election.

If Adam Laxalt is anything like Paul Laxalt, it would be a day and night change.

He’ll take a page from Obama and simply have all his opponents “eliminated”.
