Personally I think this lady got a bum rap.
She lost because Harry Reid turned out the total combined forces of the unions and the Las Vegas Mob. Not because she was such a bad candidate.
If Dingy Harry had nearly as much influence on the 2010 election as believed, he’d have seated his son, Rory, as Governor in that same race. Angle IS just that bad a candidate, and she only has herself to blame. She had already blown two races in spectacular fashion before she ran that year (including one where she demanded they run a do-over for the U.S. House GOP primary !).
That was the only candidate Dingy needed to face who would lose to him, and she did exactly that. Running her again would be the textbook definition of insanity.
