Tea party favorite will challenge Reid in Nevada

[jayem]

"Nevada Republicans Tuesday picked tea party insurgent Sharron Angle to take on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, marking the start of an epic showdown between a king of Capitol Hill and a conservative renegade who wants to turn Washington on end..."

I think the TP just handed Harry Reid another term. She wasn't the pick of the GOP establishment. She's got some unconventional ideas, to say the least. She once proposed a Scientology-sponsored drug rehab program for state prisoners. She also wants to phase out SS for younger workers. This stuff appeals to a fringe, but how will this play in the general election? Remember, Nevada went Democratic in 2008--largely due to a potent Hispanic vote. Will she have any traction will these voters? Harry Reid is a pitifully weak candidate, but it sure seems the Republicans have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. It'll be a fun race to watch.

People around here keep saying that the tea party does not have candidates. This is all too confusing....

I will gladly trade you a hamburger today for a chicken on Tuesday.

I've heard the talking heads say that Angle's win might be beneficial to Reid.

At least the "chicken lady" didn't win.

I have words to describe Sharron Angle, but I would rather not say in these forums...

I am voting, reluctantly, for Harry Reid this fall.

 

[SwordoftheLord]

Well, I am all for the Tea Party, but I didnt think hey were recognized as a national party yet?

will have to look up them both before I make a honest decision though. But if I had to vote based upon party. I would vote Tea Party

I like some of the Tea Party candidates. Against popular belief, I think Rand Paul would be okay if he learned how to be more positive and less politician. Sorry man, come back in 2014. There's a lot of Tea Party candidates I'm sure are good, honest people.

Sharron Angle is not one of them.

Phasing out Social Security for younger workers? If I were in Nevada I'd definitely vote for her.

You me Ron Paul? I am a full supporter of Ron Paul, he was he only candidate I liked for 2010

I like Ron Paul. I disagree in a few things that he does. He tends to be a little batty, but that comes with age. He's also got a charm that his son has obviously yet to figure out how to use.

We're pretty much to the point in American elections that the outcome doesn't matter.

Regardless of who wins, we lose.

Be a huge bore. She's an "extremist" and she is a "nut" is all Harry Reid has. For months we will hear the Vegas mob, street criminals, teachers, gays, blacks, the SEIU, IBEW ,ACORN and their media outlets scream those charges over and over.

Rand Paul is Ron Paul's son. He is running for governor of Kentucky.

You need to change your enemies list a bit. ACORN doesn't exist any more.

Too bad "nutty extremist" is not a disincentive to her supporters.

 

[Harpuia]

Voegelin's wrong.

Live in this state and you'll know, Angle is known as the "queen of no". She makes "Dr. No" Ron Paul look like a drooling sycophant. She says no on bills that people UNANIMOUSLY vote yes. The most popular vote in Nevada during the early 2000's was "41 to Angle"... on cleanup bills.

Then again, I guess "99 to Angle" just sounds catchier to her supporters.

Sharron Angle has 11 point lead over Harry Reid. :o

And they will be effective. Is that your point?

Somebody sounds upset that his dream of taking over Washington and sticking it to the middle class is being washed down the drain right now.

hmmm so in your mind:gays, blacks, teachers, electricians and union members are the same as Vegas mobsters and street criminals?
