Would-be Reid opponent files paperwork to run
A Wall Street banker who's considering running against Sen. Harry Reid has filed candidate paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.
John Chachas, an Ely native who's now a banking executive in New York, filed a "Statement of Candidacy" and "Statement of Organization" earlier this week, signaling that he's likely to get into the race.
The paperwork reveals that Chachas has reserved a Web address for his campaign, chachasfornevada.com, but the site isn't up yet.
Chachas is one of several Republicans who have been in conversations with local and national Republicans about taking on Reid, who's seen as vulnerable in his 2010 re-election race but hasn't yet drawn a clear GOP opponent.

hey, who better to steer the country out of this economic funk than to elect a WALL STREET BANKER, who probably was at the forefront of the economic collapse.
Stay in Ely Chachas, you can't win.

Chachas gave a large contribution to Obama.
And you claim that Reid is seen as vulnerable?
