Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wins reelection in Nevada

Democratic Sen. Harry Reid bested Republican upstart Sharron Angle to win the U.S. Senate contest in Nevada, a costly, closely watched brawl that pitted one of President Obama's top lieutenants against a "tea party" favorite.
Outside groups poured millions of dollars into the race, which was seen as a referendum on Obama administration policies that Reid guided through the Senate and that Angle bashed as having done little to help bring down Nevada's stubbornly high unemployment rate. /Los Angeles Times Nov. 2, 2010 9:48 p.m.
