For Nevada Voters, 'None' Is 2nd to Harry Reid

For Nevada Voters, 'None' Is 2nd to Harry Reid

Friday, 11 Jun 2010 07:06 PM

Harry Reid faces one wild-card factor in November's election: None of the above. Nearly 11 percent of voters in Nevada's Democratic primary last week chose "none" over Reid, reflecting a sense of frustration within his own party over the Senate majority leader's performance.

And they could play a role in November if they're still angry at Reid. Moderate Republicans and independents also could throw their support for the "none" vote, possibly hurting Reid in a tight race with conservative tea party-backed candidate Sharron Angle.

"None of these candidates" has been a ballot option on statewide races since 1976.

Clinton: Why Is Harry Reid in Trouble?

Friday, 11 Jun 2010 07:56 AM

Former President Bill Clinton says he can't understand why Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's seat is in jeopardy in Nevada.

Addressing a rally of about 700 Democrats in Reid's home state, Clinton said Thursday night, "Why would you give away the Senate majority leader who has delivered time and time and time again?"

He said Reid is not to blame for the nation's economic collapse, which has hit Nevada particularly hard.

Reid is in a fight for his political life against tea party favorite Sharron Angle.

Reid was in Washington while Clinton was rallying supporters in Nevada.
