Trying to gain the upper hand (Reid)

[NVMojo]

November 16, 2006

The nonaggression pact between Nevada's two senators has hit a snag.

One day after Democrat Harry Reid was elected Senate majority leader, John Ensign became the Republican charged with taking him down.

Ensign was chosen Wednesday to head the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Its mission is to win back the Senate majority that Reid and Co. wrested away in the Nov. 7 elections.

That makes Reid the primary target of Republicans, and will likely change the relationship between two Nevadans who famously dropped their swords after a brutal 1998 campaign to work across party lines for the sake of the state.

As Ensign said Wednesday: "The only agreement Sen. Reid and I have is to not criticize each other personally."

Carl Tobias, a former UNLV law professor who watches Nevada politics from the University of Richmond in Virginia, said Republicans will surely rev up attacks on Reid.

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. i think Schumer should replace Reid

I think Reid is too easy to smear with ethics issues. Plus I really, really like Schumer.

They tried. They tried to smear him with half truths and distortions.

3. John Solomon is full of shit

Now if this was Murtha they were going after then I would agree, but the stuff being said about Reid is bullshit.

4. Thank you for your concern.

Reid stood up to the Mafia. I'm pretty sure he can take the Republicans.

(And how ........lacking....it is to forget that these are the people who smear war heroes, investigate a president down to his underwear and come up with nothing but an insignificant lie about adultery, who made George Bush look like a great guy and the squeaky clean boyscout Al Gore look like a fool.)

There is no one they won't try to destroy. Their goal is power not truth.
