Harry Reid endorses “none of the above”

Posted on June 13, 2014 by KG

‘An upset last night in the Democrat primary for governor of Nevada was almost as stunning as the Brat win in VA-7.
“None of the Above” won with 29.96% of the vote. Nevada was the first state to institute a “none of the above” line to its ballot in 1975, as a way for voters to protest weak, unqualified candidates.
Senator Harry Reid, who runs the Democrat party in Nevada with an iron fist, told reporters earlier this year, that the candidate to run against the popular Republican Governor Brian Sandoval, would be “a respectable Democrat and someone that people know.”…’

A case of N.O.T.A. bene?

    Unfortunately, “none of these candidates” can’t win, even though it cam it first. The 2nd place winner will be the Democrat nominee. Doesn’t really matter because the incumbent governor, Brian Sandoval is incredibly popular and will easily win.

    Sandoval is likely to run against Harry Reid in 2016, and would easily defeat him. This assumes, though, that his pick for Lt. Gov. wins in November. It is an open seat, and unlike with the Governor’s race, Reid’s political machine is going all out for the Democrat whose only claim to fame was waxing poetic about her abortion.

    The Nevada Lt. Gov. race will determine whether Harry Reid stays in the U. S. Senate, as either Majority or, hopefully, Minority leader or not.

      I’ve lost all faith in the ballot box to fix what ails us in the West, Political Hat. All this stuff is simply a sideshow, entertaining but ultimately meaningless.
