Okay, that's quite the exaggeration, but the Senate Majority Leader trails Danny Tarkanian, 49%-38% and Sue Lowden 45%-40%. If you're scratching your head wondering who they are, join the crowd. I looked them up and Sue Lowden is the state GOP chair, and Danny Tarkanian is the son of the legendary coach, and a two-time failed political candidate (in fairness, he's a Rhodes Scholar, so he's obviously got something going on upstairs).

If you're scratching your head wondering how a politician in this much trouble can't attract even a third-tier challenger, you have to understand that the leading Nevada Republican challengers for Reid either lost re-election, are under indictment, have an approval rating in the teens, or announced they won't run because they can't count on the support of the state's senior senator, who had his parents pay off his mistress.

That last sentence may be the most depressing thing I've ever written. It really is amazing our Republic has endured 220 years.
