Obama to Stump for Reid

[The Northerner]

President Obama will appear with politically embattled Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in Las Vegas next month, according to a White House official.

While it is not clear whether the appearance will be overtly political, any appearance by the president in Reid's home state is likely to be seen as an effort to buck up Reid's re-election effort.

Reid faces a difficult race and trails potential Republican challengers in some recent polls.

CQ Politics rates the general election race as a Tossup.

That will teach him.

1. Well.

That's just marvy-doo. I am a-twitter with excitement just slightly above profound malaise.

8. Enhanced melancholy. It would be easy to get reelected with some good legislation on the books

2. 4 for 4? n/t

3. He's got a bloody stump from all the reaching out to Republicans

4. I predict Obama will have as much success stumping for Reid...

as he did campaigning for Deeds, Corzine, and Coakley.

7. Let's hope so. Reid has got to go, yesterday.

[No Elephants]

15. Yes, but we'd want him to go in a primary, not an election.

This is nuts. On the other hand, I believe Reid is often a scapegoat. Hard to tell, though.

5. That will guarantee a Reid loss. Particularly after Mass and

today's markets loss, caused 75% by Obama' bank assault and 25% by China's bank reserve increase.

6. That should help.

9. No thanks

Can't Reid just rot in a pile of his own shit? :thumbsdown:

10. Invertebrates have to stick together.

12. Wish it said "Obama to Stomp on Reid" (nt)

13. C U L8R Reid

14. I hate to be negative about this whole situation

but Obama needs to stay in Washington and continue to work hard on the tasks at hand and let Reid die a deserving slow death by himself out there in Nevada. Better yet, Reid needs to do what Dodd had the balls to do and announce he is not running again so we can get some new blood in the Senate that will get some things done.
