IT'S HARRY REID, NOT HARRY TRUMAN - AT 7:15 P.M. ET:  Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is in trouble in his own state.  He doesn't exactly have the fight in him that Harry Truman did, so we might not be seeing Reid around town beyond next year.  From the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Nevadans say they're ready to replace longtime Democratic incumbent Sen. Harry Reid with an untested Republican.

Which Republican? Undecided.

But of their top two picks -- former GOP party official Sue Lowden and real estate developer Danny Tarkanian -- either one would unseat Reid if the election were held today, according to a poll commissioned by the Review-Journal.

Lowden and Tarkanian are in a statistical tie atop a list of nine primary candidates, according to the survey of Nevada registered voters.

COMMENT:  Let's hope the Republicans don't mess this up.  Maybe we're hoping against hope.
