There's simply no contest.

In the race for United States Senate pitting Democratic incumbent Harry Reid against Republican former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, the choice is unmistakably clear:

Harry Reid deserves to be re-elected.

Because of Reid, people can now buy health care regardless of whether they have a preexisting condition. They can't be dropped by their insurer if they get sick, or subjected to a lifetime limit on coverage.

Because of Reid, tens of thousands of trucks and trains carrying nuclear waste won't be headed toward Nevada's Yucca Mountain, eliminating risks for Nevada and the rest of the country as well.

Because of Reid, MGM Resorts International was able to get financing to complete its CityCenter project on the Strip, and thousands of jobs were saved.

Because of Reid, thousands more have jobs under the stimulus bill, from restaurant workers in Summerlin, to construction workers nationwide.

Because of Reid, thousands of people who were about to be foreclosed upon -- perhaps under dubious conditions -- will get a reprieve.

And none of these things would be true if Angle had been in office.

 Reid has also suffered from the slings and arrows of the Review-Journal, a newspaper owned by the same parent company asCityLife. The venomous anti-Reid bile that bubbles up on its opinion pages long ago leached into the news columns, which are routinely antagonistic toward Reid and sympathetic toward Angle. To be sure, the newspaper's endorsement of Angle required the Review-Journalto put its usually principled libertarianism in a drawer. In the end, the Review-Journal's only real principle seems to be "get Reid."
