Republican Sue Lowden is spanking Harry Reid nine ways to Christmas in the latest Nevada Senate poll: she’s leading by 10 points, despite Reid spending millions on advertising already.
Here’s an insight by way of Ace of Spades that makes us even more enamored of Sue Lowden: she’s smart enough to hit Reid with an inescapable trap.
(1) Lowden hits Reid for his liberal tax and spend ways, making him the poster boy for reckless government spending. But, she doesn’t stop there, since going after him for reckless spending only makes the conservatives hate Reid more than they already do.
(2) Lowden brilliantly hits Reid with the second punch of “while he’s spending the nation’s money as Majority Leader, Reid’s failing to bring any of that pork home to Nevada”.
So, people who might not have a problem with the current Congress dumping our tax dollars down pork barrel septic tanks have a REAL problem with none of that money coming to Nevada itself.
Lowden, quite brilliantly, is attacking Reid with the same issue on two different fronts.
If she can find a way to hit him on a THIRD front too, one that would keep Liberals home instead of voting for Reid, she can depress his Democrat turnout while increasing the moderate and conservative turnout for herself. This one is tough, because Liberals are so nuts; she certainly can’t say Reid isn’t Liberal enough, because then moderates and conservatives would back away from her. Perhaps she could just focus on Reid’s ineptitude. But, Liberals don’t have a real problem with that, either.
Maybe tying Reid to ACORN, the SEIU, and other Democrat thug operations could keep some Liberals home on election day. While they might have no problem with the criminal enterprise that is ACORN, people realize it’s toxic, and don’t want to be seen as an ACORN supporter with ACORN getting so much bad press. Tie Reid to ACORN, make him a toxic asset too, and watch the DNC distance itself from him and let him go down in flames.
The more we see Sue Lowden in action, the more we like her.
Nevadans, what think you?

Hoping the RNC gets their collective heads out of their collective as.es and supports her. Maybe Sarah will go to a rally for her. That’ll do the trick!!

Here’s hoping that toad of a man is history come November. He is an embarrassment to the state. I’ve seen his ads and he it touting himself as the man who single-handedly took on the mob while walking to school through the snow and uphill – both-ways.. What a load of hooey!

A possible third avenue for Sue to use would be the effect that Obama has had on Las Vegas. As I recall, at the beginning of his administration he chastised corporations for having awards banquets and the like for their salesmen and other high performing employees. As a result, I think the convention trade in Vegas has suffered a great deal. Reid has carried Obama’s water for him and Reid’s constituents are suffering as a result.
Sue would have to confirm all of this, of course, I heard it third hand from someone who said that the brokerage that he works for had toned down or cancelled an event in Vegas because of the bad PR that could result. That plus I don’t pretend to follow Nevada politics more than to suspect that Reid probably has to stay in office to stay out of jail.

Harry is a sniveling little excuse for a man. Louden should name him as such.

Harry Reid, to me at least, looks like he came straight out of central casting to play a low level, bean counter, who lives with his mother (played by the wonderful Thelma Ritter), and three cats.
In real life, he is a slimy little pol…who needs to find at least one “private sector job.” His own.

Oh please. Thelma Ritter would never play his mother! He’s too much of a weasel.
:D

Although I am temporarily living in Washington state (Seattle being the San Francisco of the Pacific NW) I was born and raised in Nevada. Most of my family is still there. I’ve being seriously thinking of moving back to the Silver State. If one more vote for Lowden will dump that sorry little slug Reid, count me in.

Nevada absolutely must get rid of Harry Reid. But we don’t need a “shape shifter”like Sue Lowden or Danny Tartanien. That is more of the same. We need someone who stands on their principles no matter what is expedient at the time. That person is Sharron Angle.
