Reid v. Reid

DateTuesday, June 8, 2010 at 23:22

 

The assumption has been that Harry Reid’s style has worn thin over the years – even among registered Democrats.  When asked in statewide poll last fall: “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Harry Reid?” Only 55% of Democrats said “Favorable;” while 34% replied “Unfavorable;” (11% had no opinion).

On the other hand, son Rory has been perceived to be the more modern, thoughtful, decent Reid.  While no one would describe Rory as universally beloved in Nevada, he has never been tainted with a scandal and his net favorability has always been thought to be significantly better than his father’s.  In fact, the conventional wisdom was that his father’s high negative rating was the major obstacle that might jeopardize his election as Governor.

So, what happened when real voters went to the polls Tuesday?

75% of Democratic primary voters cast their ballots for Sen. Harry – with his 3 unknown opponents gathering a total of 14% and Nevada’s unique “NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES” getting 11%.  Not great numbers – but not all that bad in a strong anti-incumbent year.

Surprisingly, his totals were considerably better than Rory’s who received just 70% of the state-wide Democratic vote -with his unknown opponent gathering 15% and “NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES” getting 15%.

In terms of raw vote totals, Sen Harry pulled-in 87,374 votes while Rory received 80,164.  So, for some reason, almost 10% of registered Democrats who voted for Harry – didn’t vote for Rory. 

This was consistent across the state in every county but two small, rural traditionally anti-Harry bastions (Esmeralda and White Pine).  In Clark County, Sen. Harry received 78% of the Dem vote while Rory – chairperson of the County Commission – got 74% - not a huge difference – but enough to swing many state-wide elections.

It’s hard to say just what this means except it definitely wasn’t expected – and isn’t a good omen for Rory’s campaign.
