Maybe the real change will happen in the 2010 midterm elections



2010 SENATE CAMPAIGN: Polls show potential GOP challengers would beat Harry Reid

Tarkanian claims early GOP lead

By BENJAMIN SPILLMAN


It's the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada voters.

The results suggest the Democratic Senate majority leader will have to punch hard and often in order to retain his position as the most accomplished politician in state history, in terms of job status.

Nevadans favored Tarkanian over Reid 49 percent to 38 percent and Lowden over Reid 45 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.

Reid's status makes him an icon of the Democratic Party and ties him to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Barack Obama, both of whom are losing ground among centrist and right-leaning voters in the country.

Winning "becomes more difficult when you are actually the one having to carry the water for the president," said Richard Davis, a professor of political science at Brigham Young University in Utah. "He (Reid) has got to get something out of the Obama administration that he can claim as his own."

But with the election more than a year away, Reid has plenty of time to attract more supporters to his corner.

Between now and November, 2010, Reid will attempt to show voters he can deliver lower health care costs and new jobs to Nevada, which has an unemployment rate pushing 13 percent.

This is my hope for the future. That the congress and senate go back to overwhelming conservative control. That will bring a screeching halt to his plans or cause him to go public with them. Next year will be very interesting.

Must be loads of evil mongers in NV

Barbara Boxer is in trouble too. A year out and it looks like many big time Dems are in trouble


Now Boxer Is In Trouble?

The latest Rasmussen Reports poll shows Senator Barbara Boxer leading her relatively unknown opponent, former Hewlett-Packer Hewlett-Packard (you'd think I'd have looked at my printer 20 inches away . . .) CEO Carly Fiorina, by only four points, 45%-41%. Boxer has never been terribly popular in the Golden State, but given the conditions Democrats have enjoyed the past few years, it is surprising to see her in Elizabeth Dole 2007 territory (though in a much more Democratic state).

Poll after poll shows incumbents once thought to be safe in pretty dangerous territory. These are the dangers of being in charge in the present economy, I guess.

I would enjoy seeing them all join dashel and be kicked to the side. Just seeing their ego popped would bring great joy.

They would stimulate the unemployment lines - the only thing that was done well under their economic policies

Nah, they are all rich bitches, including the men. That's the reason they are in their position to begin with. And they have managed to get richer since taking office.
