Harry Reid ran the best campaign of the 2010 election season.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Says Chris Cillizza:

He had the worst possible situation for a politician seeking reelection: he was both universally known and not at all well liked by Nevada voters....

From the moment Angle officially won the Republican nomination, the Reid team began a systematic negative campaign against her that will go down in history as one of the best ever. Angle was constantly on defense in the fall -- trying to beat back Reid-generated stories about her comments on Social Security, Medicare and just about everything else.

The strategy reflected the simple reality of Reid's political predicament: his only chance to win the race was to turn it into a "devil you know versus the one you don't" choice for voters.

Cillizza is impressed by Reid's acceptance of the reality that he couldn't make himself more popular. He saw what he had to do ? grimly tear down his opponent ? and he did it.

There are runners up, including 2 Wisconsinites ? Ron Johnson and Scott Walker.
