NV-Sen: GOP Turns to Carpetbagging Wall Streeter

{First, a cheap plug for my blog Senate Guru.}

Nevada’s Republican bench is very thin and the GOP is having a hard time finding someone to run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.  Former Rep. Jon Porter has taken a gig with a lobbying firm, former state senator Joe Heck is running for Governor, and Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki is under indictment.  Their best hope is low-dollar wingnut former state assemblywoman Sharon Angle.  So what is the NRSC to do?  It looks like they’re going to import a carpetbagger from Wall Street, banker John Chachas:

But Chacas’ Wall Street background during an economic recession probably wouldn’t help politically.  Even more damaging is the fact that his primary residence isn’t in Nevada – he left the state when he was in high school.

Hey, if Chachas doesn’t go for the carpetbagging campaign, they might as well give Alan Keyes a call.  He’s run for Senate in Illinois and Maryland – why not go for the hat trick?
