GOP In-fighting
Rescues Harry Reid
'Chickens for Checkups' a Koresh-send
Excerpt:
A Republican civil war might be giving Harry
Reid a fresh chance at reelection this fall.
For months Reid has seemed like a goner as each
one of his potential GOP rivals held solid leads in polls.
But as the June 8 primary nears, the Rethugs
have turned on one another and the race is tightening.
Sue Lowden is no longer immune to the Republican
intraparty wars sprouting up across the country as
Utah GOPers boot Bennett and as Kentucky Republicans
are sparring over the better candidate to run for Senate.
Sue Lowden, the former state chairman who seemed
like the favorite candidate of official Washington,
is taking heat from all sides as Democrats and
several GOP challengers have seized on her suggestion that
a health care bartering system would work better
than the reform law passed by Congress this spring.
The Democrats had a field day dubbing it "Chickens
for Checkups," but it's Lowden's Rethug challenger
Danny Tarkanian who has done the most damage
on the topic. He's also made an issue out of Lowden's
campaign contributions to Reid more than a decade
ago.
Harry, are you going to pull off the upset?
Can that idiot's pay-your-doctor-with-chickens craziness save your
bacon?
Is Nevada the canary in the coalmine for Teabagger nuttiness?
