Pollster: Reid Will Win in Nevada

With thousands of people moving in every month, it's no surprise that Nevada looks like a new state every time Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid returns home. But that helps to explain why he's started campaigning and advertising for re-election in 2010 so early. The goal, says his pollster Mark Mellman, is to introduce Reid to the newcomers and explain how much clout he has as the Democratic boss. "I am absolutely certain he is going to win," says Mellman, dismissing Republicans who say that they are going to knock him off as they did former Majority Leader Tom Daschle. One major difference with the Daschle race, says Mellman: Nevada is more Democrat-friendly than Daschle's South Dakota.

Amodei can beat Reid

If people take the time and research the candidates, Amodei is the best qualified. He is smart, level headed and cares about the people of Nevada. He is the only one in the race capable of taking on Harry Reid. Spread the word and lets get behind this candidate and see what we can accomplish.

Support GOP Candidates!

I'm supporting Mark Amodei. He is the only one who has the brains, the personality, and the experience to get Reid out of Nevada.

Even if you aren't in Nevada, you should send whatever money you have. Harry is going to have $25 million...!! The entire country has got to help us get Harry out. Send what you can!

Bobbles Poll: Obama's Socialist Joke?

President Obama and "Oboker" bobbleheads for Washington Whispers. Bobbleheads provided by webobbles.com.

Shouts that President Obama is steering the nation and budget in a socialist manner have become so loud that now our bobble supplier has designed a "Socialist Obama" titled "OBOKER," a play off Heath Ledger's evil Joker who sought social upheaval in the The Dark Knight. Do you think that Obama's agenda is exactly what the country needs or a push into socialism?
