Sue Lowden, the current Nevada GOP chair is planning on stepping down from her position effective September 30th. This is a first step to challenging Reid.
This move is not all that surprising. Recent polls have shown Reid with fairly poor numbers and if the GOP was going to mount a comeback in 2010, it would be a real kick in the gnads to take out the Senate Majority leader a la Tom Daschle.
I suppose one good thing is that the NRSC will divert a ton of valuable resources to taking Reid down thus spending less on other races.
