I supported Angle all the way, but I’ve come to realize that while she is a genuine conservative, and a person of fine character, she’s dumb as a box of rocks, and a terrible politician.
I don't know if she's as dumb as a box of rocks, but she's obviously not a very good nominee considering she managed to lose to Harry Reid who was one of the absolute most vulnerable Senators in 2010. Angle seems to be a case of a candidate who's right on most of the issues and just generally awful at advocating and defending her views in the court of public opinion.
You'll get a lot of people who think she lost because of Rove or fraud or some other conspiracy - but the truth is she was the bad nominee most political strategists on both the right and left knew she would be from the outset. Had we had a better candidate we would have won that Senate seat - perhaps by a large margin.
