Are Nevada's U.S. senators interested in being vice president?

Don'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."

Reid no, Ensign yes

posted by Zeke

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.

"They are both working on the independent voters who will make all the difference in that race, and there aren't going to be many independents in Denver and St. Paul."

-- Mark Peplowski, a political science professor at the College of Southern Nevada, on state Sen. Dina Titus (D-Las Vegas) and incumbent Rep. Jon Porter (R-Boulder City), who will continue campaigning in the 3rd District during their respective national party conventions.
