Reid may be severely behind in the polls and spending a lot of dough each month but don’t let those two facts fool you!

Reid has plenty of cash to pour into his race for a sixth term this year and though unlikely polls can change drastically over a few months in an election year. People need to stay focused and vigilant.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s campaign ended 2009 with less money in the bank than it had in September after financing an advertising blitz intended to buff his bruised image in his home state of Nevada, records released Friday showed.

After spending an average of $22,000 a day from October through December, Reid still holds a commanding fundraising edge over any of his potential Republican opponents in November.

The Democratic leader collected nearly $2 million in donations in the final three months of the year — his weakest fundraising quarter of 2009 by a narrow margin. That’s about the same amount of money his campaign burned through in the three-month period on ads and other expenditures.

Reid’s campaign ended the year with $8.69 million in his campaign account, down slightly from $8.73 million at the end of September.

The Senate leader, considered among the most vulnerable incumbents in the nation, has said he will raise $25 million for his campaign to win a fifth term in the Senate. He’s raised $15 million so far and will need to raise nearly $1 million a month to hit that target.
