Washington Times: Senate giant killer sees new victim: Reid

Monday, 05 October 2009 08:47

That's exactly where Mr. Reid, the Senate majority leader, is now, he said. "In the case of Senator Daschle, he was leading a left-of-center caucus and representing a right-of-center state - it was very difficult to reconcile those two," Mr. Thune told The Washington Times. "I know that Senator Reid will work very hard over the course of the next several months to convince his voters in Nevada that he's still very connected to them and in touch, but I think that the perception that he's got to overcome is that he is leading a left-of-center caucus in Washington that's trying to do all these things with which they disagree." Mr. Reid's falling approval ratings have led political analysts to declare his 2010 re-election bid a tossup. Recent polls have him trailing at least two possible GOP challengers.
