Joe Heck isn't perfect, but he would be the most conservative Senator from Nevada since Paul Laxalt. Also, he has an excellent chance (80% I'd say) of winning the general election, while Angle would have maybe a 10% chance against Catherine Cortez Masto given that it's a presidential-election year and people are even more fed up with her now than they were in 2010; for one thing, we can be certain that Heck won't proclaim that Masto looks more Asian than she does Hispanic, while there's a decent chance that Angle will say something even more stupid than that. Angle is an idiot. I don't like using words like that to describe persons brave enough to jump into the political fray, but in Angle's case the word fits. She appears to be congenitally incapable of running a competent campaign or of avoiding giving voters ample reasons to oppose her. Of all the candidates to whom I have donated money at some point, she is by far the one that I regret the most having done so--she sounded so good in those Club for Growth mailers in 2006, but then she took SoreLosermanism to new heights after Dean Heller narrowly beat her in the primary and she failed to take the lead after the recount. Suing to try to get a revote? Refusing to endorse the Republican against the ultraliberal feminist Democrat? Frankly, I'm not sure that she's "all there." We should avoid her at all costs.
