What was the problem with the other GOP candidates? Were they too moderate? I like Angle and I hope she wins but if they would have been better off with Lowden or Tarkanian then this was a big mistake.

There might be a silver lining though. If Dems lose the House and Reid gets reelected then he will be their number 1 face in Congress. And an unpleasant face it is. If they use Reid as their target in 2012 it might be easier for Republicans to gain Senate seats then.

Angle raised little money during the primary. Mark Levin used his radio show to urge his listeners to donate to Angle. Plus Tea Party Express & Freedom Works (Dick Armey’s Tea Party group) dumped millions for Angle. Thus enabling for Angle to win the primary.

Also Sue Lowden said, “With the high cost of ObamaCare, we’ll need to barber chickens for healthcare services.” Reid and his allies spend $10 million to slam Lowden for her comment. As a result, Lowden dropped in the polls. When Angle won the primary, Reid supporters jumped for joy.

Lowden is a conservative. I didn’t hear much about Tark’s history. Reid’s folks set up a fake conservative political action group and ran ads accusing Lowden of being liberal...some people fell for it. Add that with those on our side who can’t understand why energizing the tea party and energizing potential voters are two different things...and then there are those who dont care about electability at all...
