Evidently, the Right is gunning for the Democratic Senate Majority Leader.
A conservative organization is set to launch an all-out effort aimed at beating Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2010.
The American Future Fund Political Action is planning a two-year long offensive against the Democratic leader, who is already a top target of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The organization, stocked with former Mitt Romney presidential campaign operatives, is set to launch its effort this week with a Web -centered fund-raising drive.
Of course, they’re having a few problems finding someone who can credibly run against him.
Even as Republicans talk up their effort to knock off no viable Republican candidates have stepped forward to run. Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki had announced his interest in a bid, but last fall he came under indictment for his management of a student loan program. Former Rep. Jon Porter, a moderate Republican from suburban Las Vegas, has also been mentioned as a potential candidate, but he lost his congressional seat in the November election.
To be sure, I really dislike Reid, too (though I suspect for very different reasons). Maybe if the Dems started gunning for him, I might be willing to toss a few dollars their way …
