Harry Reid Victory Speech

Harry Reid was able to deliver a victory speech. This was great news for the Democrats, and especially the White House. Obama and his wife, Michelle, spent the last couple days hitting the campaign trail and Harry Reid was one of the main races that they wanted to see won.

During his victory speech, Reid said that Americans in Nevada chose "hope" over "fear." He also claimed the state would move forwards instead of backwards...typical political speak if you ask me.

Reid also gave props to the opposition, saying it's not "us" vs "them" it's every Nevadan together working together.

All in all, this was one victory speech that many Democrats were fearful wouldn't take place. Below see a video about Harry Reid delivering his victory speech.

Harry Reid Election Results 2010 [NV]

Harry Reid election results 2010 are in, and the Tea Party sweetheart Sharron Angle was unable to defeat Harry Reid. The Senate Majority leader will return to the Senate, which is expected to remain BLUE.

Sharron Angle was seen by many as a little too "out there" and didn't even support long term unemployment, despite her state having the largest unemployment rate in the nation.

Harry Reid, however, wasn't expected to win the race going in to it because he's not well loved in his state. He's seen by many as a "rubber stamp" to the President's agenda, although when the Senate reconvenes in January it will be a very different mood, and it won't be as easy for the Senate to go along with the president's agenda without challenging him on issues that aren't popular with the American people.

It will be interesting to see what role Harry Reid will play in the repeal of Healthcare, which is something that many Americans want on the agenda. However, Reid played an integral part of the passage, and he might have to flip flop to keep his constituents happy.

What do you think of the Harry Reid Election results 2010?

[SENATE] Harry Reid Election Results 2010

[SENATE] Harry Reid Election Results 2010. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid held on to his job in th US Senate by the skin of his teeth, defeating the "face of the Tea Party" Sharron Angle. Going in to the election, she was expected to stage a narrow victory against the long term incumbent.


His son, Rory, lost his bid to become the governor of Nevada.


The fact that Harry Reid held on to his job is good news for the White House, who put considerable resources in to campaigning for the Majority Leader. Reid isn't well loved by the people of Nevada, but he's been viewed as the lesser of two evils. In a state where there's the highest unemployment in the nation, Sharron Angle is against long term unemployment extensions.


Had Reid lost, it would have been a slap in the face to Obama and Michelle Obama, both whom campaigned for him leading up to yesterday's election.
