Nevada Democratic Senator Harry Reid
Majority leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) is not especially popular in his home state of Nevada and could be vulnerable if the Republicans can come up with a top-tier candidate. But so far, nobody wants to try. The governor of Nevada, Jim Gibbons (R-NV), has been embroiled to more scandals than anyone can count at this point and the lieutenant governor, Brian Krolicki (R-NV), is currently under indictment. The state’s only Republican Congressman, Dean Heller, has been completely mum on the subject of a Senate race. The state’s other senator, John Ensign (R-NV), is not likely to be of much use since he and Reid have an agreement not to go after each other, and with Reid by far the more powerful of the two, Ensign would be foolish to break the agreement. Unless somebody pops out of the woodwork quickly, Reid may luck out and get a free pass. [Electoral Vote]
