◼ Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval is nearly impossible not to like. He has a sunny disposition and seems ever eager to work with Democrats, who have nary a bad word to say about him. He’s highly popular in Nevada, with approval numbers in the mid-60s, and he stays on message as well as anyone in politics. - _ Jon Ralston/Politico
He is, in a phrase, the anti-Harry Reid.
Which is why the prospect of Sandoval facing off against the occasionally dyspeptic, sharply partisan and manifestly unpopular Senate majority leader in the 2016 U.S. Senate race has some Republicans writing Reid’s political eulogy.
“It would be a wipeout,” said one Nevada insider. “He is 100 percent the perfect candidate against Harry Reid.”
