You know things are going poorly for Harry Reid when his son Rory, who’s running for governor of Nevada, won’t use the family name in his campaign.
You know things are going poorly for Harry Reid when his son, who’s running for governor of Nevada, won’t use the family name in his campaign.
Reid has become a four-letter word in Nevada, so Harry’s son has scrubbed it from his commercials, his ads, and his website. He’s no longer Rory Reid. He’s become just plain Rory. One name. Rory.
This is, after all, Las Vegas. That one name affectation worked out pretty well for Cher, Liberace, Sigfried & Roy and Liza, but odds are Rory won’t be as lucky.
Republican Brian Sandoval now leads Rory Reid by 21 points in Nevada’s race for governor, but even embattled GOP incumbent Jim Gibbons has moved into a virtual tie with the Democratic hopeful.
Rory Reid looks like his father, but lacks his trademark charisma
The morning of November 3, 2010 will not be a happy one in the homes of any Nevada Democrats cursed with the last name Reid.
Rasmussen reveals the sad news for Harry Reid’s son Rory:
Republican Brian Sandoval now leads Rory Reid by 21 points in Nevada’s race for governor, but even embattled GOP incumbent Jim Gibbons has moved into a virtual tie with the Democratic hopeful.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Nevada shows Sandoval, a former state attorney general and judge, now leading Reid 55% to 34%. A month ago, the GOP frontrunner was ahead by 18 points, 53% to 35%. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
But Reid also now trails his two other top GOP rivals. His father, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, continues to struggle against his three top Republican opponents in the state’s U.S. Senate race.
Mike Montandon, the mayor of North Las Vegas, posts a 45% to 38% lead over Rory Reid, currently chairman of the influential Clark County Board of Commissioners. Given that match-up, nine percent (9%) like some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided. In March, Montandon had a 42% to 37% lead.
Gibbons, whose unpopularity is attested to by the challenges for the governor nomination within his own party, now edges Reid 45% to 43%, after trailing the Democrat by eight points a month ago. Eight percent (8%) want some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
Nice to see that Rory Reid is following in his father’s footsteps.
Harry Reid’s son Rory Reid, a Democrat who’s running for governor of Nevada, has poll numbers nearly as anemic as the old man.
Corrupt U.S. Senate leader Harry Reid trails all three of his potential Republican rivals by significant margins in every poll. And it looks like it may be a family trait.
Harry’s son Rory Reid, a Democrat who’s running for governor of Nevada, has poll numbers nearly as anemic as the old man.
According to Pollster.com, the younger Reid has just 20 percent and 24 percent of the vote in two possible three-way matchups. In head-to-head races with likely Republican candidate and former federal judge Brian Sandoval, he’s down by 22 points, 53% to 31%.
Yup, it’s genetic. Rory Reid has his mother’s eyes and his father’s poll numbers.
