Polls: Reid would lose election if held today
+ The idea is this: If the Republicans sit idle and watch the Democrats, then the GOP should have a significant advantage heading into the 2010 Midterm Elections. We’re starting to see some recoil by voters in polls:
Republican Sue Lowden would defeat incumbent Democratic Sen. Harry Reid by 6 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup, according to a poll of likely Nevada voters.
This would be very significant if the Majority leader in the Senate lost; maybe even change the dynamic of the Democrats’ platform. If Reid loses his election, but the Democrats remain in power of the Senate, then the party will vote for a new Majority Leader. The hope is that they select someone with moderate positions, rather than the extreme left that we see on display today. Then again, the Democrats will get bitch-slapped by the militant arm of their own party of paid supporters to take on more extreme views.
