Rory Reid Downplaying Name?

Rory Reid, son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is running for governor in Nevada, but his campaign website doesn't show "Reid 2010," but instead says "Rory 2010." Some political analysts believe Rory Reid is distancing himself politcally from his father due to Harry Reid's 52 percent disapproval rating in the state. However, according to CNN.com, both Rory and Harry Reid have low approval ratings. I say potentially having two Reid's in the same state holding public office is overkill, and voters may think the same thing.
