GOP Wants to unseat Harry Reid

For nearly six years, Republicans have had Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid in their crosshairs, hoping to secure for the four-term Nevada senator the same stunning fate as his predecessor, Tom Daschle, who failed to win re-election in South Dakota in 2004 despite his role as the Senate's top Democrat.

But here's the rub for Republicans hoping for another historic upset: They haven't found a challenger to take on the reigning majority leader.

"You can't beat anybody with nobody," said Ted G. Jelen, a political scientist at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Even so, Reid is being painted as a "super-spending partisan" by critics and has close ties to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who's under fire for casting the CIA as liars. Republicans are convinced that Reid is vulnerable in next year's election.

"He does have an image problem," Jelen told FOX News. "A well-financed credible challenger could give him a lot of trouble." - FOX News Story
