From the Associated Press:

Along a curve of desert highway near the gated home of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, mechanic Bill Johnson is struggling to keep his checkbook balanced.

With Nevada's economy poisoned by recession and the nation's highest foreclosure and bankruptcy rates, business at Johnson's boat-repair shop has nose-dived 40 percent since last year. He cannot afford health insurance, and his sewer bill jumped to $875 a year.

"I really have to pose a question: Harry, what have you done for me lately?" asks Johnson, who vows to vote against Reid and other incumbents unless health care is made affordable.

I am not suggesting that Senator Reid did what he did to solely to enhance his re-election prospects but today Senator Reid did show that he can lead cutting through the morass that is the United States Senate and deliver for people like Bill Johnson back in Searchlight, Nevada.

There is also a measure of satisfaction from the GOP's response.

“A primary reason Harry Reid is one of the most endangered incumbents facing re-election in either party next year is due to the fact that he is viewed by many of his constituents as a partisan bully," said Brian Walsh, NRSC Communications Director.

Good on you, Harry.
