Being a lifelong cynic about any state that legalizes prostitution and then elects Democrats to office, I said a few days ago that Harry Reid would probably survive as minority leader, once the wheels of REAL justice grind the Dems' bones to dust under our electoral grindstone. It appears I may have to hunker down for a mouthful of barbecued crow.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal senior political writer Glenn Cook has a few points about why Reid won't be getting the support he thinks he will. The payoff item is in red below....

QuoteBlame Harry. Nevada Democrats are staying home because of three critical Reid missteps.

1. Reid is so preoccupied with helping U.S. Senate candidates outside Nevada win re-election — and keeping his job as majority leader — that he isn't pulling any levers to crank up the turnout machine that won him a fifth term in 2010 and swung the state to President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

2. Reid failed to run a viable Democratic candidate against popular Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval, surrendering the state's biggest race. Democrats had no one to champion the party brand throughout the 2014 campaign, and no compelling candidacy to drive partisans to the polls.

3. Reid alienated the most important part of his state machine: organized labor. The Culinary and the AFL-CIO delivered the congressional majorities that allowed Reid to pass the Affordable Care Act, and they saved him from his own unpopularity in 2010. Then, when unions screeched about the brutal costs imposed by Obamacare on the Cadillac health plans they had spent decades building, Reid and the president refused to give labor with the exemptions they wanted. As a result, unions were slow to spend their resources rescuing the party they feel betrayed them.

There is indeed voter suppression in Nevada, but it amounts to a self-imposed quarantine by Democrats.

As long as there is legit oversight of the voting fraud that his machine can play like a fiddle, he may lose.  I'm pretty sure Angle had him beat, just as Coleman had Franken beat, and McDaniel-Cochran.

Don't fight like hell......don't complain when you get cheated.
