I think Harry is a great guy and an average Senate majority leader. I think Democratic leadership is lacking especially from Reid and Obama. Nevertheless, I won't be disappointed if the senator is reelected.
I think the author is counting will chickens before they are hatched and is delusional; must be related to Ann Coulter. There is a long way to go to election day and when healthcare is passed with the other Democratic accomplishments Sen. Reid shall prevail.
Will Nevada's new Tea Party candidate seal the deal for Reid's re-election?
March 1, 2:38 PM Reno Conservative Examiner Kelly Anderson Wright
Liberal pundits are giddy that Nevada may run a Tea Party candidate against Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) in November. They gleefully point to a new poll showing a Tea Party candidate would cannibalize Nevada's Republican voters, allowing the Senate Majority Leader to win a fifth term.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but that simply won't happen. If anything, the Tea Party will ensure Reid's defeat, as only Nevadans know.
Asked how they'd vote, voters gave Reid 36% of the vote, a nameless GOP candidate 32% and a nameless Tea Party candidate 18%. Reid is so unpopular, he even trails candidates with no names by 14 points, 50 - 36.
Nevadans will tell you, the goal is simply to beat Reid, period. Rally cries of, "Anybody but Reid," and "Un-Reid our Country" adorn bumper stickers from Reno to Vegas.
But what about that poll's third candidate? The voters queried assumed a credible Tea Party candidate. Nevada's newly-registered Tea Party of Nevada (TPN), is not credible; it includes people no self-respecting Tea Party planner would invite.
Simply put, the TPN and its candidate are shills, a bogus political group filled with people unknown to the real Tea Party leaders in Nevada. Several names on the party's list of officers are Democrats and Reid supporters; they include known Bush-bashers and 9/11 truthers, as well as representatives for Las Vegas's low life.
TPN secretary Barry Levinson is the former lawyer of wife-beater John Wayne Bobbitt, whose first wife, Lorena, cut off nearly half his penis after he raped her in a drunken rage. (His penis was successfully reattached, and he enjoyed a "short-lived" career as a porn star before moving to Vegas.)
Levinson wasn't lucky enough to ride Bobbitt's first claim to fame; instead, the Vegas lawyer represented Bobbitt on multiple spousal abuse charges levied by his third wife.
Jon Scott Ashjian, the TPN's proposed Senate candidate who has yet to file candidacy, is virtually unknown in Tea Party circles, political circles or even Vegas business circles.
Out-of-state news rags call Ashjian a "Las Vegas business leader," but being listed on the charters of ten limited liability companies, including one called "Bada-Bling," with the same mailing addresses (4485 N. Rainbow, Las Vegas) doesn't makes you a business leader. Sharing that address with Bobbitt's bottom-feeder ex-lawyer, and another who advertises herself as the "Vegas DUI ticket lawyer," doesn't establish much credibility as a business leader either.
But Ashjian certainly is responsible for A & A Asphalt Paving Company, which is currently under investigation for "failure to establish financial responsibility" and "fraudulent or deceitful acts" by the Nevada State Contractor's Board. So he is a businessman, tho hardly a leader, and not the kind any Tea Party member would vote for.
A bogus Tea Party candidate will not help Reid win. If anything, this scurrilous move will only further drive conservatives, right-wingers, and independent voters disgusted with Reid's shenanigans to vote for the candidate who has the best shot at beating him. And there's the real story: Nevadans want a credible candidate who can beat Reid.
According to the newest Mason-Dixon poll of Nevada, that would be any of the GOP leaders.
Former state GOP chair Sue Lowden, a businesswoman and former state senator, would beat Reid by 13 points, 52-39, if the vote were held today, according to the new poll. Her lead in the Jan. 5-7 poll was 10 points, 50-40.
Danny Tarkanian, a Las Vegas businessman and attorney, would beat Reid by 11 points, 51-40. In January, he held an 8 point lead over Reid, 49-41.
Conservative activist Sharron Angle, a former Reno assemblywoman, could beat Reid, according to several earlier polls. Only relative unknown John Chachas, an Ely native who recently quit his job as a wealthy investment banker in New York, is the only GOP candidate who could not beat Reid, because no one knows him or trusts him, just like the Tea Party of Nevada.
Nice try, Harry, but a phony Tea Party and a fake candidate won't work. Your days are numbered.
