Sharron Angle is dead, one in an occasional series.
The question cannot be ignored considering all that has happened since the primary: If Sharron Angle truly is as cuckoo as Harry Reid says she is and as her own words occasionally indicate, why isn’t the Senate majority leader, arguably the most powerful Nevadan in history, running away from her in the polls?
Although it’s possible Reid may continue to gain ground on Angle — he has gone from being down double digits to having slight leads in most surveys — the inexorable number in nearly every poll is the one that shows about half of the electorate disapproves of Reid. With 10 weeks until early voting begins, and with Reid hoarding enough money to unload all of the ammunition Angle has provided, it has become clear that either the majority leader can’t beat anyone this year or the GOP nominee is the only person he can survive.
At first glance, the prospect is startling: The most powerful man in Nevada, who controls the Democratic Party and is as canny as they come, could lose to a backbencher assemblywoman, who has no help from the party, who is on a mission from God, who thinks entitlements are extra-constitutional and who doesn’t think gays should adopt. I could go on with positions she has espoused, despite any current rhetorical mellowing, that generally are seen as out of the mainstream. But no need.
It’s almost preposterous, right? Sharron Angle defeating Harry Reid? Come on.
But here’s the rub: People hate Reid. I tell my daughter never to use that verb, but it’s the only word for it. It seethes, blinds, sputters.

Why would anyone give credence to a person a cuckoo as Reid calling anyone else cuckoo?
Willingly trying to destroy this great country in cohorts with a black separatist racist communist is what is cuckoo. Angle is perfectly sane.
Bumperooonie to that!
No wonder this clown in a Journolist, he is far too arrogantly stupid to find honest work.
People hate Reid, and not just in Nevada. Americans in all 57 states hate Reid.
Leave it to the idiots at the Republican National Committee (RNC) run by Michael “Lap Dance” Steele to screw the pooch on this one. Why are they not helping their candidate to beat the Democrat’s Majority Leader?! Because she’s so-called “controversial” according to the jourbalists?! Fools!!
At least the repugnicans can be counted on to give him a fighting chance.
just gave an interview on 670 Am with Steve Wasrk about my book on Reid. I will post a link later.
The voters do not have a “blinding hatred” of Harry Reid.
But increasingly, they DO have a more clear-eyed view of where sleaze can lead a man of warped ambition. Like Tom Daschle, Harry is a doctrinaire elitist who had worked himself into a position of relative power and authority.
Harry lacks charisma, but he has access to plenty of campaign funding, and he is a reliable steward of the particular agenda that is being supported from the White House. He is just not very attuned to the voters of Nevada, but by careful projection of image, he can minimize this negative aspect of his character (or lack thereof).
Can Harry be defeated at the polls? Yes.
Can Sharron Angle count on your support in this effort? That is up to you.
“...a backbencher assemblywoman, who has no help from the party, who is on a mission from God, who thinks entitlements are extra-constitutional and who doesn’t think gays should adopt....”
She sounds great (as long as she does not “mellow”).
Yep, no help from the Republican party. That really burns me up. Talk about the good old boy network including the NRA. This should be an eye opener for everyone. I have sent her three donations and doing what I can.
That's got to hurt when you are the U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Even Strom Thurmond rated higher on the influence scale when her was 100 years old and a month or two away from retirement.
Reid is an evil man.
Jerry Doyle called him “Whorehouse Harry.” Cracks me up every time.
“I could go on with positions she has espoused, despite any current rhetorical mellowing, that generally are seen as out of the mainstream..”
MEMO To: Ralston
Subject: Out of the mainstream.
From: The majority of Americans who are out of the mainstream of Jurnoweenies.
We are not at all sorry that we offend you and your imaginary
sense of what is mainstream in this country.
I blindly hate Harry Reid!
The NRA is a network of one, with one issue. Don’t confuse them with being in the “Good old Boy network. They never were.
