WASHINGTON (SR) - A White House announcement today that President Barack Obama will appear with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid next month in Las Vegas is prompting jubilant celebration in the GOP, and bitter despair in the Reid campaign.
"I have little doubt we can lose horribly on our own, we don't need help," said Reid's campaign manager. "Really, the President would help us more if he could somehow appear with our Republican challenger."
GOP leader Michael Steele warned his party against prematurely celebrating Reid's defeat, saying Obama's support isn't a 100% guarantee the unpopular Nevada Senator will lose, estimating the likelihood could be "as little as 97%."
My comment: Wow, from messiah to political turd-in-the punchbowl in only one year? That's a shame. Margaritas and party hats anyone?
