Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid doesn’t care who opposes him the general election for his Nevada Senate seat. “They all scare me,” he said yesterday.
Reid was speaking at a Memorial Day event at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery, and according to Congressional Quarterly, said that he has “no control over who’s going to be in the general election,” so he’s “just going to continue doing my job.”
Reid continued: “I’ve got a big job, and I’m just going to continue doing the best that I can helping the people of Nevada and the rest of our country.”
Reid’s potential opponents are Tea-Party backed Sharron Angle, businessman Danny Tarkanian, and state GOP chair Sue Lowden, who will all battle it out in the June 8 Republican primary.
The TPM poll average shows that in general election match-ups, Lowden leads Reid 48.4%-38.4%, Angle leads Reid 42.8%-41.3%, and Tarkanian leads Reid 47.0%-40.4%.
