Reid Runs as Consummate Insider With 'No One Can Do More' Message

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

As members of Congress across the country try to distance themselves from Washington by burnishing their "outsider" credentials, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is doing just the opposite -- he's embracing his incumbency as he seeks re-election in Nevada.

After Republicans selected Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle last week to run against Reid, the Senate's No. 1 Democrat is trying to make the case back home that experience is good, and that his clout in the nation's capital is what brings jobs and funding to Nevada.

"No one can do more," is Reid's new campaign slogan, unveiled in a pair of ads that tout his record securing funding for alternative energy sector jobs.

The strategy is undoubtedly risky in an election year when upstart candidates like Angle are surging on the crest of the Tea Party movement and incumbents are generally trying to downplay their establishment ties.

While Reid, who has served in Congress since 1983, has decided to play to his decades of experience, all Republicans see is a bigger target.

"It's an interesting strategy to brag about bringing jobs to your state when you have 13.7 percent unemployment
," said Brian Walsh, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The nationwide unemployment rate is 9.7 percent.

Walsh said he wouldn't argue with the new slogan.

"No one has done more to increase the role of the federal government or raise taxes on Nevada families," he said.

But he is only offering the Democrat solution to everything, 'we will give you more money and benefits'.
