Michelle Obama came to Nevada to salvage Harry Reid's career, but all she could talk about was The One. She forgot to mention that she need's another vacation.

Reid was forced to stand by, a wan smile on his face, as Mrs. Obama sold her husband's achievements. The most Reid got was an occasional "with Harry's help," Mrs. Obama's way of reminding everyone that Reid played only a supporting role in the Barack Obama show.
In the last two years, Reid devoted all of his energy, and put his own political future in peril, to push the Obama agenda through the Senate. Did he really sacrifice everything for this?
Making matters worse for Reid, there's no indication a visit like the First Lady's will even help. A new Fox News poll shows President Obama's job approval rating has slipped to 38 percent in Nevada. 53 percent of those surveyed by Fox say their vote in the Senate race will be an expression of opposition to the Obama administration, while just 36 percent say their vote will be an expression of support. And 53 percent say Obama's policies have hurt the state's economy, while just 22 percent say those policies have helped.
