    Its definitely worth a close look at who supported him.

    The casinos all sent their employees out on busses to vote for Harry during work-hours. It is surprising that the casinos would support Harry Reid but maybe its a union thing. They don't seem too concerned about alienating nearly 50% of their customer base.

    Reid also apparently received 80% of the Hispanic vote in Nevada.

  2. The Senate Majority Leader and the Casino's mutual back scratching go waaaaaay back.

    In Martin Scorsese's 1995 movie Casino, the "Senator" who was the head of the State Gaming Commission who tangled with De Niro's character Sam "Ace" Rothstein was in actually Harry Reid.

    A good book is from Hal Rothman "The Grit Beneath the Glitter: Tales from the Real Las Vegas" (Univeristy of California Press, 2002)

  4. Range Rover and the left are morons.
    Ried, Pelosi, Quinn (IL Gov), Brown (CA Gov), etc are all thieves serving the left and the unions.
    Individuals are don't want to steal for themselves, so they hire others to do it for them. [​IMG]
