| #8 The president rarely missed a chance...to put himself and Reid in the same sentence. This is the kind of skill and professionalism we've all come to expect from this administration. Send a socialist clown to right-of-center Nevada to tell everyone that Reid is his loyal bitch. Well done! |

| #7 I just listened to his speech. Once again, he managed to call the American people stupid without appearing to call the American people stupid. Kind of like he says 'screw you' when he scratches his nose with his middle finger. |

| #6 HENDERSON, Nev. – President Barack Obama turned an economic appearance in Nevada into an extended campaign plug for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose re-election fight could have a big impact on the balance of power in Washington and the fate of Obama's own proposals. Obama wrapped his arms around Reid at the start of the event on Friday and embraced Reid's work throughout. The president rarely missed a chance — on the economic stimulus plan, on health care, on the effort to regulate big banks — to put himself and Reid in the same sentence. The political goal was to shift the emphasis from the unpopularity of some of Reid's votes to, in Obama's view, the courage it took to take expensive steps to save the economy. Obama needs to protect every vote he can in the Senate if his own agenda is to succeed. "I can personally attest that Harry Reid is one of the toughest people I know," Obama told a friendly crowd packed into a high school gym here. "Sometimes he takes his licks. But he gets back up. Harry Reid has never stopped fighting." Reid is up for election this year and is seen as one of nation's most vulnerable incumbents. He introduced Obama at the event and then sat behind him, basking in each applause line. ...yeah. Just like Martha Coakley did. |

| #2 The man who drove away business and jobs from Vegas [I'm sure all those union members now collecting reduced hours or unemployment are still koolaid drinkers] is going to NV to help? Sorta like punching another hold on the other side of the Titanic to balance out the list. |

| #1 Reid has got to be living in a different reality. Obama has proven to be the kiss of [political] death. When Reid loses will it because he ran a poor campaign? |
