Is Harry Reid the most formidable Democrat currently holding office?

You gotta give Reid credit for an amazing campaign.  He chose Angle as his opponent, so if she's the reason he won, he deserves credit for that

He chose Angle as his opponent

How so?

Um, he's been knocking off potential top tier opponents since 2005? He got Sandoval that appointment to the federal bench, he knocked off Heck (he ran for Congress this year now), he knocker off Porter, and someone started investigating Krolicki.  He got the Republican mayor of Reno to endorse him as well as the Republican governor's wife.  And that's just off the top of my head.

And after that, he took the strongest of his primary opponents, Lowden, and destroyed her in her own primary through a relentless campaign effort against her before the GE even started.

Of course he wasn't responsible for Lowden's brilliant suggestion that the healthcare system be based on chicken-bartering. So a little bit of luck there too.

I'm not sure if the tracker for that footage was a Democrat or a Republican, but that wasn't exactly a quote made on primetime TV.

Reid took the gaffe and made a website about it, hired people to follow Lowden around in a chicken costume, and may have done more like TV ads I can't remember right now. 

Democrats were also responsible, if I recall correctly, for the legal complaint about Lowden's RV?
