| Description | The Las Vegas Sun's Jon Ralston thinks Sen. John Ensign's days representing Nevada may be numbered.
Ralston has gotten a lot right lately, and his latest speculation seems plausible, if premature. As Ralston writes:
"I have to believe Ensign will soon become a target of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Why? Because the GOP sees a path to taking the Senate in 2012 -- two-thirds of the contested seats are held by Democrats -- and they don't want to have to worry about defending their own. Ensign has a disapproval rating approaching Harry Reid-like elevation and he will have neither the benefit of a Reid-like turnout machine or campaign team. Those who know him or have been with him before want nothing to do with him now. Even in Nevada, where the dead are resurrected and no depredation seems unforgivable, Ensign has no path to victory." |
