It has become a common talking point that former Republican Nevada Senatorial candidate Sharron Angle damaged her race against Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid because of her stance against illegal immigration. Many in the media will point to her campaign ads as proof that she was too much of a firebrand on the issue as opposed to other Republican candidates across the country; however, the numbers just do not show that to be the case.

No, “the demise” was because Harry Reid cheated his way to another 6 years.

I heard the NRSC had a miserable GOTV operation in Nevada. The overall neglect by the “leaders” is what hurt, unlike the apparent support for Murko. Cornyn is a back stabber.

Cornyn is a back stabber.

That's becoming more and more evident. Losing this write-in campaign due to lack of diligence by the NRSC makes them a laughingstock and shows a lack of interest in the American public's needs.

Unions are the reason. Reid's camp had been telling people that they were underestimating their ground operation. With 70% of the votes coming from Clark County, the ground game there mattered. Hard to overcome Casino executes pressuring their employees to vote for Reid.

Obama won the Nevada primary with Reid's machine help, they even put voting booths in the casinos.

GOP insiders would rather lose than have an outsider take one of “their” seats, especially a Senate seat.
