Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest: Harris is in and.
NV-Sen: Democratic Sen. Harry Reid is raising money and hiring staff for a 2016 re-election campaign, but not everyone is convinced hell actually run again. Politico reports that plenty of Senate Democrats and even some of his. is just a bluff: Jon Ralston has speculated that Reid may want to wait until the last possible moment before announcing a retirement in order to help his ally former Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto avoid a serious primary challenge.

On the Dem side, Greg Giroux - who I think must be wired, Matrix-like, into all the key election databases - spots a filing from Byron Georgiou, an attorney who was one of Harry Reids picks to serve on the Financial Crisis Inquiry... Hed lose a LOT of money betting on Sharron Angles next moves, so even he has acknowledged theres a good chance of her going for the gold in NV-Sen... So at least Im glad those two werent rewarded with a spot on the city council.

Harry Reid will not seek re-election - Daily Kos
Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obamas ambitious agenda.. Gonna be a hard race. Sandoval will jump in now that its an open seat. Harry sidelined him earlier by appointing him to the Federal bench. Our best bets: Harrys pick, Catherine Cortez Masto. Smart, just retired as AG.

DEMOCRATS HAVE NO BENCH, PART MCMLXXVII
Harry Reid says he wont run for reelection in 2016 -- but hey, Reid had a tough reelection fight in 2010, so maybe that will actually make it easier for Democrats to defend the seat! Thats what Dave. Reids preferred successor is rumored to be Catherine Cortez Masto, the attorney general whod been term-limited out of office in 2014.. Thats the rising star whos going to hold the seat for the Democrats?. Long Read: ���Michelle Obama, Race and the Ivy League���.
Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest: What went wrong for.
There was no way that any state-level candidate could compete with all the spending that would go into the nationally-watched Senate race, but a smart campaign could at least ensure that it could get its message out... And in the event that Reid decides to retire rather than endure another punishing race, Ralston thinks outgoing state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto is the best bet to try to succeed him.. so outside help probably wont change things.
Swing State Project: NV-Sen: Shelley Berkley Is In
I hope this is right, because I really think this is Berkleys time, and Im convinced she can win, especially with Obama at the top of the ticket. UPDATE:. I wouldnt have minded AG Cortez Masto or SoS Ross Miller. But now... Reid had gobs of it because he was in the marquee race of the cycle; even though Berkley presents Democrats best pickup opportunity, her campaign is going to have to work a little harder. Reid also. No, but Harry is close enough to Byron.

Harry Reids down, but never out
