EXCERPT

Let’s get the easy part out of the way first:

Sharron Angle won The Big Debate.

Angle won because she looked relatively credible, appearing not to be the Wicked Witch of the West (Christine O’Donnell is the good witch of the Tea Party) and scoring many more rhetorical points. And she won because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid looked as if he could barely stay on a linear argument, abruptly switching gears and failing to effectively parry or thrust.

Whether the debate affects the outcome — I believe very few Nevadans are undecided — it also perfectly encapsulated the race: An aging senator who has mastered the inside political game but fundamentally does not seem to care about his public role (and is terrible at it) versus an ever-smiling political climber who can deliver message points but sometimes changes her message or denies a previous one even existed.

Look upon these works, ye mighty, and despair.

As I watched the debate, I felt all the years that Nevada has striven to surmount its seamy image fading away as the nation watched this sad spectacle. As Slate’s John Dickerson wryly put it on Twitter: “After watching the Nevada Senate debate I really wish that what happens in Vegas could stay in Vegas.”

I know we Nevadans get our backs up when the national media condescends. We are a proud bunch; we love our state. But as I surveyed the post-mortems in the 140-character world, where concision often yields brutal truth, you could almost sense the head-shaking as the national types opined:

This is delicious. Wasn’t it the Reid camp that decided to give Angle only one debate back when she was down double by digits? I’m sure they’d kill for a rematch now but it’s probably too late to set it up.

I truly hope this Reid is taken out. He was the main thrust of reckless spending under the real lunatic Pelosi. I have never understood you can read the bill after it is passed logic. Then they put no other future congress can change this bill. Which is B.S. Did you read that one. What a bunch of crooks.

If not for his ability to twist the truth, lie and lie some more, Reid wouldn’t be able to open his mouth.

Can't wait until Sun day to watch the NFL in those pink helmets that Harry talked about last night. So who's the lunatic? Playing football with or without a pink helmet will not make you a winner. Harry obviously has taken too many shots to the head.

Oh by the way, how did Harry make all his money as a government employee?
