Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gave a somewhat ill-received speech before the legislature in his home state of Nevada. Reid argued why “the time has come to outlaw prostitution.” Nevada is the only state where the world’s oldest profession is legal in some counties and there are 28 brothels in the state. In the audience was …
This morning on TIME.com I have a look at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s fight for his political life in what is sure one of the wackiest races in what has been a weird and wonderful midterm election — certainly the most interesting I have covered. Interestingly, John Ralston, the desert guru of Nevada politics, thinks Reid will …
