| Senator "The Surge is a Failure" Reid's Poll numbers are plummeting |
| 2007-10-15 |
| Molly Ball of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Senator Harry Reid's favorable rating in Nevada has "plunged dramatically," according to a new poll. Currently, Reid's favorable rating is at 32%, while his unfavorable rating is at 51%, a net 23-point drop from the last poll taken in early May when Reid scored a 46/42 favorable/unfavorable rating. Ball reports this is the first time Reid's unfavorable rating has eclipsed his favorable rating. It also puts him below the favorable ratings recorded by President Bush and radio host Rush Limbaugh, among others: Senator John Ensign 51/19 Bill Clinton 51/37 Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman 42/17 Hillary Clinton 38/51 Rush Limbaugh 34/50 President Bush 34/53 Senator Harry Reid 32/51 Governor Jim Gibbons 30/29 Pollster Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon offered a wry observation of Reid and Limbaugh's similar ratings: "That's how polarizing Harry Reid has become. But Rush is trying to be polarizing. Reid just does it anyway." I wondered about this in a comment last week - sure enough the Las Vegas Newspaper comes through with my answer |

| #12 Quisling was shot for treason. We should have such a happy ending. |

| #11 Doesn't matter - he was elected in 2004. He's got (at least) another 3+ years in office. |

| #10 Reid's favorables are low but I'm surprised they are as high as they are--he is such a dunderhead. |

| #9 Mom, you left out the happy ending: in 1945 Quisling was shot for treason. |

| #8 Resemblance? not really. Except in the level of danger they present. Reid is just plain wrong, and he is blind to his and his party's folly. They and their adherents are aiding and abetting the enemy publicly with their statements, and too many sheep agree with them. Quisling had a few parades and speeches, but few people took him seriously. Nobody in Norway had elected him to any public position. He went to Hitler and told him he had an army of Nazi sympathizers in Norway ready to do his bidding. Hitler bought it. When Quisling marched into the Norwegian Radio office at the outset of the German attack, the radio announcer barely recognized him. When he saw Quisling's demands, he had an inspiration: "Major, why don't you read your message to the people of Norway yourself?" There was therefore no doubt in any Norwegian's mind who betrayed them. When Gen. Falkenhorst took Norway, it took him just a few minutes to realize that Quisling was a fool and a liar. So he let Quisling be the figurehead; let him have his parades and press conferences and his ego trip, while ignoring Quisling in any kind of policy making. Reid is no figurehead. He has been given a position of leadership that he has not the character or wisdom to handle. |

| #5 Did anyone notice that Buba and the Mrs. have numbers that are almost exact opposites of one-another? |

| #4 Those are the kinds of numbers the Republicans should jump on. Get a decent Republican in the race for Harry's seat. |

| #2 I'd like to see Murtha's numbers track right along side Reid's. |

| #1 I'd vote for Oscar. Nothing like a having a "made" man as a Senator. |
