By Kyle Roerink, Las Vegas Sun

Democrats outnumber Republicans by 77,000 voters in Nevada, they control the state Legislature and they boast the most powerful member of the U.S. Senate.

But they’re unabashed about their failure to find a viable candidate to challenge incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval.

“We couldn’t find a candidate,” Sen. Harry Reid, godfather of Nevada Democrats, said in an interview with the Las Vegas Sun this week.

    Dog. It was Rory Reid. I would suggest a Democratic Hispanic Woman to run against Sandoval. Unemployment is high, education is not keeping up, housing prices are still way off from 2006 , and water supplies are low in Nevada.

    I know, R4T. I was being facetious because he tried to hide the fact that he was Harry Reid’s little boy. And the whole campaign was a dismal failure.
    It’ll be interesting to see who does win the nomination. It’s unusual for the Ds to have so few viable candidates.

    Harry Reid is a disgrace to the good people of Nevada.

    BC, Clive Bundy is a disgrace to the good people of Nevada!

    Last I heard Cliven Bundy wasn’t running for office. And I think I recall hearing Harry Reid make some questionable comments about race not too long ago; something about a presidential candidate being articulate and not sounding Black. . .

    Last I heard Harry Reid isn’t running for the office mentioned in this article either (or any other at the moment), is he Dog?

    Now that Sandoval is buddy with Bundy, it should be easier to find a challenger to run against him.
