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 pull it out, polls be damned. But that hasn’t stopped speculation from building about who will be Majority Leader should Reid falter: Chuck Schumer or Dick Durbin.
