WSJ:
Sen. Reid Hits the Ground Running in Uphill Re-Election Bid
By T.W. FARNAM
WASHINGTON — Sen. Harry Reid will command the biggest party majority of any Senate leader in a quarter century when the new Congress convenes in January. But the Nevada Democrat is already worried about his own re-election fight in 2010.
Sen. Reid, perhaps the most-vulnerable Democrat who will face re-election in a midterm race that is likely to favor his party once again, began interviewing campaign managers last week. The Senate ...

... to be left by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. “In our family in particular there is a sense we have to work twice as hard — people have this perception, and we are fortunate,” Ms. Kennedy said. “But I think it’s a question what you do with that opportunity.” Lest we forget that some senators actually have to get elected to their posts, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is up for re-election in 2010. Calling him “perhaps the most-vulnerable Democrat who will face re-election,” The Wall Street Journal reports that Mr. Reid started interviewing potential campaign managers last ...
We Will Make Harry Reid Own the Left
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
2010 will be so much fun.
Democrats have picked up a combined 13 seats in the past two election cycles. In 2010, more Republicans than Democrats are up for re-election, and Democratic incumbents appear to be well-positioned overall.
Sen. Reid, however, faces a potentially tough fight. A recent Research 2000 poll of likely voters put his approval rating at 38% and his disapproval rating at 54%, a possible reflection of voters’ displeasure with gridlock and partisanship in Washington. And while Nevada broke for President-elect ...
Messsage to All Who Want to Chair the RNC: Promise Us the Head of Harry Reid
The Sundries Shack —
[image] The good news is that Senate Majority Leader and National Embarrassment Harry Reid’s approval rating is positively Bush-like, at 38 percent. The bad news is that the Republicans have absolutely no one ready right now to run a serious campaign against him in 2010. If you’re looking for a great example of why Mike Duncan, the current Chairman of the RNC, should not be re-elected to that position, look no farther than Nevada. Harry Reid should be sweating bullets right now, worried to death that he’s going to get his narrow little rump kicked six ways to Tuesday in 2010. ...

... , and he is up for reelection in 2010 with a 54% disapproval rating in his home state. Reid needs to appear sufficiently moderate for the voters in Nevada while simultaneously pleasing the ultra-liberal base of the national Democratic Party. That will cause him to make miscalculations, such as hastily employing an obscure rule to refuse a Senate seat to the only African-American potential member when he would like to seat another potential Senator with the same rules problem. ...
Harry Reid Might Accept Burris if We'll All Stop Talking About the Harry Reid Scandal
Politics Daily —
... term comes due in 2010. Interesting that Reid was so concerned about black candidates' prospects in Illinois. Perhaps he should be more concerned with the prospects of wussy, geriatric, ineffective Senate Majority Leaders who accomplished nothing in two years despite being in the majority with a nationwide mandate from voters. Leaders who, for what it's worth, are blocking the path of much more qualified successors. Because that demographic might poll poorly in Nevada come 2010. Permalink | Email this ...

However Pollyanna-ish that sounds, what Reid is really saying is that he doesn't want to listen to the opposition—even if they are his constituents. Good luck in 2010! ...
