Reid's Machine Seeks to Push Obama to Victory
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is ready to test his political strength in Nevada, the New York Times reports.
"Mr. Reid has spent the last 10 years building a political machine that helped Mr. Obama win Nevada in 2008 and carried Mr. Reid to a re-election victory two years ago that stunned many pollsters. It is widely praised -- even by Republicans -- as one of the most effective voter-organizing and money-raising political organizations..."
"Mr. Reid's organization is a large reason that Mr. Obama is favored by many analysts to win narrowly in Nevada, despite what may be the worst economic climate in the nation and a sizable population of voters who, like Mitt Romney, are Mormons. Mr. Reid, who has long been strongly supportive of Mr. Obama in Washington... has made it clear that he views a victory for Mr. Obama in his state as a personal mission. This reflects not only his admiration for the president but also his visceral dislike for Mr. Romney, expressed in constant needling and attacks for almost six months."

(3,003 posts)West Virginia and Colorado were MUCH tougher challenges for us. And let's face it, Manchin is 100 times better than that Raese (sp?) guy who ran against him.

(68,868 posts)The difference between Coons and Manchin is much greater than between Castle and Raese.

Don't be surprised If Obama wins Nevada 5 to 8 points over Romney.Back In 2008 polls had Obama up 4 or 5 he won by 12.Angle on average lead Reid by 4.Reid won by 5.
On republican side sandoval was polling to win by 13.He won by 6.
Reid probally won't be too popular In Morman church after Romney loses in November.
