Report: Top Nevada Republican Dean Heller Won't Run Against Reid
Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) has reportedly decided that he will not run for Senate in 2010 against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, depriving the Republicans of what would have been a top recruit.
Polls have shown Reid with weak popularity ratings, but at the same time he's built up an impressive war chest, and the Republicans simply haven't been able to attract a solid candidate.
A group of Republicans have released a poll showing Reid losing to state GOP chairwoman Sue Lowden, but this does seem a bit suspicious -- it's part of a draft effort to get Lowden to actually become a candidate.

What is the probability Reid will have a token-resistance primary challenger?

I think Alan Keyes may still be available.

Harry's "impressive war chest" may be why it's so difficult to get meaningful legislation through the senate. The boy's been bought and we Democrats don't need him.

I wouldn't mind this spineless asshole to get trounced if we could get a few more seats.
