Are Nevada's U.S. senators interested in being vice president?
By Politicker StaffDon't expect Nevada's U.S. senators to be a presidential runningmate. In a survey of the U.S. Senate's membership not already running for president on whether they'd accept an offer to be vice president, The Hill newspaper found a variety of responses to the veepstakes question. Some were accompanied by laughs, others took the question seriously.
So, how did Democrat Harry Reid and Republican John Ensign respond?
Says Ensign: "It's so much a hypothetical it's not even worth answering."
Says Reid: "I'm looking forward to serving the people of Nevada and leading an expanded majority in the U.S. Senate well into the future."

- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, stressing the importance of ending America's dependency on oil during his speech Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Reid no, Ensign yes
Ah, I think there are 100 Senators actually.
Reid ain't even thinking about it and would be a bad choice.
Ensign probably is on the short list, would help bring in NV for the GOP, but NV is small potatos with only 5 Electoral votes. They'd bring him in 'cause he is a hard core conservative complete with all the selfish philosophys that the GOP has stood for, for decades. After he loses with McCain it will be easy for the Democrats to unelect him as all of his flaws will be exposed on a national level.
