Two weeks ago when Obama visited Las Vegas, he was singing Harry Reid’s praises while turning on the old Hopey Changey charm. Well the poll numbers are in folks and Reid still has zilch!
From The Las Vegas Review-Journal: Reid got no bounce from Obama's visit on Feb. 19, when the president spoke highly of him at Green Valley High School and to business leaders at CityCenter, polling indicates.
A larger percentage of voters surveyed (17 percent) said they would be less likely to vote for Reid following the president's visit than said they would be more likely to vote for him (7 percent). Seventy-five percent said Obama's visit would have no effect on how they vote.
"Reid was not helped, and Obama was not any more popular than he was before he came to the state," said Brad Coker, managing director at Mason-Dixon Polling & Research.
Is anyone really surprised? Obama’s numbers have declined and he is doing precious little to address the true concerns of the nation. How Reid ever got elected so many times is a great mystery to me. However, it appears that the people of Nevada are starting to ask the same question.
In another poll, each Republican contender defeats Reid. The only way Harry wins is if a Tea Party candidate runs and creates a three-way race. The Tea Party of Nevada had better think long and hard about running a candidate. It would be far better for them to get behind the most conservative GOP candidate for 2010 than to risk Reid remaining in the Senate. For 2010 and 2012 the main focus should be ending the Democratic Majority.

And I bet BO has some way of rationalizing that and blaming it on Bush or something. He surely can't see that HE is the problem.

Hear, hear! NO THIRD PARTIES this year. We cannot afford even ONE seat going to the dems that we have a chance to win. Anyone running as a third party conservative might as well just save their money and campaign for the dem. (grrr)
Fuzzy:
I agree, blaming Bush will figure into the equation some how.
Third party candidates should be off the table until after 2012. After that, the Tea Party can become an actual party and wipe the floor with the GOP or the Dems. But for now, there simply isn't enough time. The other day Sarah Palin suggested the Tea Party should hijack the GOP and she is right. We should muscle our way in and kick out as many RINOs as possible. It is all we have time for.
You are so right, Clifton, a tea party candidate splitting the Republican ticket would be disasterous. Reid has just got to go. Our only hope is to get the Dems out of power, so that Republicans can stop the madness.
Schadenfreud thy name is Nevada's 2010 Senate Race.
That won't work here. Nevada voted for Obama in the last election. Nevadans are not stupid, disgust for Reid has been steadily growing since his last election as he moved further and further to the left. Reid is going down and hard in November.
