Republicans appear to be setting their sights on Sen. Harry Reid’s Senate seat in 2010. Reid will be up for re-election in the 2010 mid-term vote, and some political analysts point to his low approval and high disapproval ratings among likely voters as a sign of Reid’s vulnerability.
While I dislike Reid and would welcome the news of his unemployment, I just don’t see it happening. For one, Obama carried the state rather handily in November, despite Nevada going Bush in 2000 and 2004. For another, the economy should start to show signs of life by November 2010 no thanks to Harry, but a situation for which he and his campaign will undoubtedly take credit.
However, should the economy not start to pick up by then, then Harry and several other of his Democrat colleagues will have a lot of splainin’ to do.
