I don't think Harry Reid has to worry much about getting reelected.
I haven't heard even ONE TV or radio show today that hasn't made fun of his opponent,, the nut ball who wants to trade a chicken for her heath care! Earlier today, somewhere on DU I read a link that said once a candidate becomes a laughingstock it's almost impossible to recover. It also said this was HER Macca moment & I agree with BOTH statements!

1. I think the problem is that Reid is down in high single digits to all of his potential opponents

not just one. Though he thinks he might be able to win if there are enough right-wing third-party candidates.

3. The chicken shit is Libertarian. They say that before gov got involved
you could flip them a bird, or a five spot, and get full coverage. And it would be again a chicken in every pot, if we would just get gov out of everything.

4. I think she just watched too damn many "Little House on the Prairie" reruns.

Old Dr. Baker, the only MD in a 19th century rural farming community had to take chickens for payment in between harvests, if I remember correctly.

And Las Vegas ain't exactly Walnut fucking Grove!

5. Lowden is completely out of touch with the real world. This isn't the 1800's
and no one sees JUST the doctor anymore. When you pay for an office visit, you're paying for the receptionist, the billing secretary, the nurse, the lab techs if you have any samples taken, the office cleaning staff, etc., etc.

7. He's a nice guy but lacks charisma. plus the repubs have a vendetta against him.
He's endangered make no mistake about it. For some reason they don't like him out there even though he's in the best position to help his state.
