Well, it would appear that Harry Reid’s interminable maunderings about his humble beginnings in Searchlight have failed to remove the stench of the Beltway. The voters of Nevada are onto him:
The survey of Nevada voters commissioned by the Review-Journal shows Reid getting 37 percent of the vote compared with 47 percent for Republican Sue Lowden, who would win if the election were today.
Reid and his accomplices were hoping that third-party candidates would bleed off enough Republican support for him to eke out a victory in November. But those candidates are not a serious factor thus far:
According to the poll, the four nonpartisan candidates wouldn’t pick up any measurable vote. Tim Fasano of the Independent American Party and “none of these candidates” would each get 3 percent, Scott Ashjian of the Tea Party of Nevada would get 2 percent, and 8 percent of voters are undecided.
Historically, Reid has been able to convince his Nevada constituents that he’s still just a homespun guy whose old-fashioned values have remained impervious to the corrupting influence of Washington, D.C.
This time, however, they’re not buying it. They have finally figured out that he has survived and prospered among the Beltway grifters because he is himself a crook. So, they are about to fire him.
