NV Congressional Races 2016

[KCDem]

I would place the chances of Sandoval running at about 50-50, maybe even slightly higher. While it's perfectly possible that he's not interested, These rumors of him being "too scared of Reid" or "having formed some agreement" (the latter of which doesn't even make sense, as it's not as if the so-called "Reid Turnout Machine" would have helped any NV democrat this year except for MAYBE Horsford and/or Miller.) are mere rumor, nothing more, and should not be believed one bit without further evidence.

I think I'm going to trust the expert of Nevada politics over some random "independent" from Minnesota

Would Hardy run just to avoid another campaign against Horsford?

Hardy is a nobody so I doubt he has strategically thought about it.

As to the assembly speaker, LOL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Adelson pull some strings to get him removed.

If Sandoval does run, Reid will lose in a landslide. Most likely 60%-40%.

No. That would not be the case.

Reid's main focus would be to drive Sandoval's favorables down early and he would have a good opportunity to do that. With Republicans in control of the Senate, that makes it a little easier for Reid to play defense and tie Sandoval to ineffective leadership.

Wouldn't it be much easier for Sandoval to tie Reid to ineffective leadership, since Reid is, unlike Sandoval, an ineffective leader?

Sandoval, of course, has no need to dirty himself trying to get Reid's favorables down; they're already horrendous. The optics of Sandoval running a positive campaign in the face of Reid's negativity would also be fantastic for Reid, I'm sure.

In what way has Reid been ineffective. From a Democrat's perspective he's been extremely effective at trolling McConnell.
