Yellow-bellied Nevada grouser added to endangered species list

Looks like cowardly Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader who was so quick to declare that we’d lost in Iraq, may soon need to declare another defeat – his own.

Here’s how the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the results of its latest poll:

It’s the highest stakes ever for a Nevada election, and former boxer Sen. Harry Reid is on the ropes early. Either Republican Danny Tarkanian or Sue Lowden would knock out Reid in a general election, according to a recent poll of Nevada voters.

The results suggest the Democratic Senate majority leader will have to punch hard and often in order to retain his position as the most accomplished politician in state history, in terms of job status.

Nevadans favored Tarkanian over Reid 49 percent to 38 percent and Lowden over Reid 45 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.

Reid’s status makes him an icon of the Democratic Party and ties him to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Barack Obama, both of whom are losing ground among centrist and right-leaning voters in the country.

Looks like it won’t be long before Harry can return to his beloved Nevada and his even more beloved crooked real estate deals.
