How could this have happened? The Harry Reid era was over and done. His grand arrival on the national stage highlighted his every foible and magnified his failures to the point that he was un-re-electable. It was just a matter of waiting for November.
So how it that Harry Reid is leading the latest Mason-Dixon poll of likely Nevada voters? There’s a perfect 4-part storm swirling about that could easily sweep “Dingy Harry” back into office.

Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe wants to use the sale of diamonds from Zimbabwe's vast reserves in order to revive the country's economy, reports the AP.
