One politico cautions over e-mail this morning:
Republicans need to be somewhat careful in their glee to pillory Reid over this — both from a “lowering the bar” perspective (It will be a Republican who next gets “caught” so why build a bigger case in advance) and also from a voter backlash in Nevada perspective. Reid will take a polling hit from this — initially — but a significant number of average voters are probably rolling their eyes over the hype and probably sympathize with him.
