Why Harry Reid will lose

With all the blather about the attack by Harry Reid on Sharron Angle in the senate race in Nevada, too many people lose site of one overarching truth: in June, unemployment in Nevada was 14.2% up 0.2% from May. Reid has done nothing to bring those numbers down. Indeed, Reid is currently pushing cap and trade legislation. Imagine how well higher energy prices will play in Las Vegas and Reno (where nearly everyone in Nevada lives). Energy usage per capita is higher there than any other city in the country. If he cannot win on his record, Harry certainly cannot win on his charm. So what is left? Fear of Sharron Angle? I do not believe it will be enough.
