Since "Chicken-gate," conservatives have moved away from Sue Lowden, the former state GOP chairwoman, running for the Republican nomination in the Nevada Senate race. And yet another poll shows Sharron Angle leading. In a Suffolk poll, Angle is ahead of Danny Tarkanian and Lowden, 33%-26%-25%. Pollster David Paleologos said of his poll:
“The Nevada GOP is drawing a right angle in the quest for Capitol Hill. Although Danny Tarkanian is more personally popular and Sue Lowden is seen as the more viable candidate against Harry Reid, voters are lining up behind Angle in great numbers, especially in the Washoe County area."
*** UPDATE *** There's also quite the ad war being waged in the state, including a hit ad from Lowden's campaign against Angle that invokes prison back rubs and tries to tie Angle to Church of Scientology (don't miss the prison shrine to Tom Cruise!):
Tea Party Express is up with an ad defending Angle's conservative bona fides:
Lowden challenged Angle's credentials with this one:

This from Suffolk? Last fall, Suffolk’s final New Jersey poll proved well off the mark: Though most polls showed the New Jersey governor’s race to be dead even between Governor Jon Corzine and Chris Christie, Suffolk University showed that Corzine (42 percent) led comfortably over Christie (33 percent), with independent Chris Daggett trailing with 7 percent. And we all know how that race ended.
What a joke of a poll. It's as inconsistent as Sharron Angle's spending priorities and FEC reports. Every poll in Nevada has shown and continues showing Sue Lowden with a lead.

So funny how Scary Sharry Angle is bouncing up in the polls after Lady Cluck Cluck Lowdown Sue Lowden has self destructed with her chicken health care bartering nonsense. Good to see that Daddy's Boy Tarkanian isn't getting the Tark the Shark bounce, but then Tark the Shark was nothing but a perennial cheater and his son is cut from the same cheating cloth. Going to be fun tearing down Scary Sharry Angle as the wrong angle for Nevada in the Senate.
Going to be fun poking fun at Scary Sharry's Scientology religion, going to be fun watching the Teahadist Paliban justify supporting a candidate who prays to a false alien god named Xenu. Yep Scary Sharry isn't jesus certified and that's going to be a problem for the evangelical christian lunatic fringers to justify.
Harry Reid will Wipe the Floor with Scary Sharry in November!
Sharron Angle is NOT a Scientologist. She is a member of the Scientologist-infested National Foundation of Women Legislators, where she was convinced that a program, Second Chance, was a good alternative to conventional drug rehab programs for inmates. Oddly, the president of Second Chance, Joy Westrum, serves on boards in the NFWL, and the organization's treasurer, Bruce Wiseman, used to head the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a Scientology front group aimed at eradicating psychiatry and the entire mental health industry.
If you google "Second Chance Albuquerque" you will find some fun stuff. Also, if you google "Bruce Wiseman Scientology letter NFWL" you will find some other fun stuff that explains how the cult infiltrated that group to begin with.
Have you seen the breaking news that a 19 year old white man in South Carolina shot a black man in the head and killed him and then dragged his body behind his truck for miles? Nothing says racism like South Carolina that's for sure and no doubt this white jerk was a conservative racist lover of the KKK who wants to bring back the good old days when this kind of sinful behavior was tolerated and encourages. Thanks Fox and Freaks and the Rightwing Lamestream Media radio Airheads and Bloggers for fanning the flames of racial hatred because we have our first black president.
No, I have not heard that news Eric. If true as you say I have no doubt that this 19 year old's actions have been enabled to a degree by the wacko right wing nut jobs (and the wacko right wing TV/Radio pundits) who have been helping to create a greater divide between people in this country (including between the races) since Obama was elected President.
Read the article, it's posted on MSN. The indications are that the two individuals involved knew each other reasonably well, and spent the better part of Tuesday / Tuesday night together at the house of Collins (the white guy). The officers involved said that "Out of precaution, given the circumstances, they are investigating the racial angle".
Eric's knee jerk reaction is to immediately bring the KKK, conservaties, racists, and the Rightwing Lamestream Media into what may be a hate crime (per the officers involved), but might also be a horrible mistake (a death by gunshot), and a foolish attempt to cover it up by dragging the body. Five bucks says alcohol is involved, and another five says there's a significant probability of drug usage involved. I'm not making excuses for Collins, but given the lack of knowlege on the part of all of us, isn't it a bit premature to call it racism?
Take a deep breath Eric, get some oxygen.
CA, Tuscaloosa, you've been way more rational than Eric in the past, read the article, then tell me how two people of different races, that spent the day together are creating a greater divide in the nation. I'm sure the result isn't what either of them anticipated, but the blame game is out in full force, while rationality waits on the side.
OK...you're making quite a leap here. The news item says that the two men were coworkers and had spent the entire day hanging out together. Why not wait until the investigation is complete and information released before making blanket statements like this? I have some friends in South Carolina that would be very surprised to find out that because they live in SC they are automatically racist. If a black man kills a white man do you make similar statements that it must be some liberal lover of Louis Farrakhan (probably spelled that wrong). I certainly wouldn't. In my book, a human being has killed another human being and that is a tragedy regardless of race or beliefs.
In the end, you could be right that this was primarily driven by race. But why make such statements when the investigation is still ongoing.
Living in LA:
I preferenced my comment, response to Eric, with the statement if true as Eric related it. I intended to do more reading and research in to this particular incident before coming to any final opinion.
With that said, I stand by my comment that there are right wing nut jobs, including some with influence over others (and how others think) as some of the right wing TV/Radio personalities, whose tirades and comments against Obama can bring the nuts out of the wood work who already have a propensity for violence. Not only violence against others who they think are inferior or somehow tainted as Blacks, Gays, American Muslims, etc., but also against any person who is being labled (as a scar tactic) by some on the right as a socialist commie pinko nazi or anyone associated with that person by way of race, religion or other commonality. Let's not forget as reported by the FBI that since Obama became President gun sales have rocketed, the number of anti-government militia groups have tripled, Glenn Beck says Obama is dangerous because Obama is a racist, not to mention the anger that has increased towards Obama and those who oome right wing nut jobs feel take unfair advantage of what is referred to as entitlement programs (Blacks, etc.) has increased. People's tones in general have hardened and become more prone to violent threats as heard in s me tea bagger rallies towards people of different races or religions,etc. I could go on.
The fact is that this country is divided, almost right down the middle, and this division has grown deeper since Obama has become President. And no matter if from the right, or from the left., those people who are extreme in their verbalizations or criticisms that includes derogatory comments at times against those of a different race or religion will and does enable the nuts to come out of hiding and to commit violent acts against the same.
That prison massage ad was funny! Seems the right is doing a good job beating each other up. All this could just work in Harry Reid's favor.
I realize the GOP/Tea Party think government is evil and so is government regulation--meanwhile, all that unregulated free market oil is rapidly moving to the beaches, destroying small businesses, and polluting the waters and wetlands; not to mention the Wall Street financial collapse costing WE taxpayers billions and millions of lost jobs. Thanks, but no thanks to conservative ideology--it doesn't work!!!
Glad to see my First Thoughts were appreciated, and thanks for the votes.
Off topic. Earlier there was a good discussion about Chris Matthews getting a bit crazy lately. Last night, I turned on the TV and there Chris was showing the clip of Sen Specter exiting AF One with Pres Obama for the PA speech. Chris wanted to know WHY Sestak wasn't there, why would he be with Specter....blah blah. I think Chris needs a vacation. Duh, Arlen Specter IS one of the current PA SENATORS and will be until Jan 2011 when the new one is sworn in; it was out of respect for Arlen's many years and will probably be his last ride with the Pres. But most of all, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Jody, Iowa - I agree 100% with you that SissyChris Matthews is going over the edge whining about everything. He needs to take a chill pill for sure. I think that his recent histrionics are merely to pump up his flailing show, must think he has to copycat that Albino Cajun Whiner Carville. I just hope that Barack invites Admiral Joe Sestak over for a Beer Summit so that they can get their act together on mutual support. Rahmbo needs to get over old Arlen losing and stop the White House bickering with Sestak.
I saw the same clip last night and was amazed at how Chris Matthews lately seems to be loosing his thought processes. It should be elementary to those who have been associated with politics for so long to understand why Sen. Specter was with the President and not Congressman Sestak since the Congressman has not been elected to the senate yet.
Chris's lack of understanding about the oil spill is making him seem a little unstable in his thinking.
Apostles of Darkness and Ignorance! Trust Governor Jerry Brown to come up with the perfect description of repugnant ones. Finally Jerry has put up his first tv ad and it's great as it doesn't diss his Democratic Party primary opponents but goes after Old Nag Twitwoman and Poser Poizner. The Old EBay Nag has dumped $71 million of her own money on top of $10 million in donations and she has watched her once 50 point lead dwindle to 10 points. She projected she'd only have to spend $51 million to win her primary, not too good at projecting budgets is she? We can't let this Wicked Wall Street Witch and EBay Porno Queen buy her way into our governor's mansion!
Repugnant Ones are Apostles of Darkness and Ignorance!
Matthews going crazy , Carver yelling cajun, Eric bawling racism, as all DINOS only know, CA swallowing it all hook and sinker and wow, the DINOS are breaking up. Seems like the oil spill is sending them bonkers. They know that Bammy is in trouble plenty, now their Annointed One is sinking with the oil, but Palin said Drill Bammy Drilll, not spill Bammy spill. Now, I can relax and watch the DINOS scramble in confusion like headless chickens. Wait.... I thought I heard that He could walk on water. Well maybe.... What the RINOS couldn't do, Mother Nature is doing.... destroying the socialist Bammy. Low poll numbers, DINOS excoriating criticism, jeered by the international world, rejection by 3/4 of the American people, DINOS candidates running and losing their incompetent, incumbent seats and their bloggers, CA Jody , Eric MSierra and others lashing out at the RINOS for their self created problems
Sharron Angle promoting the insane Scientology beliefs should scare the heck out of anyone that would consider voting for her. She even said it was 90% effective in rehabilitating drug addicts. There has not be one single scientific study done that shows the Scientology program is effective. She is just repeating what she was told by the Cult of Scientology, without confirming the facts. We do not need leaders that follow the instructions of cult members. Remember Jonestown. They had political figures sing their praise as well. I can say from personal experience, that Scientology makes Jim Jones cult look like childs play. The thing that really freaks me out is that Sarah Palin is also being influenced by Scientology, by her connection to John Coale, the husband of Greta van Susteren of FOX news.
Can someone help here, since when is the "Church of Scientology" referred to as Christian Scientology? Did First Read confuse Christian Science a Christian faith that generally believes in prayer over modern medicine with the "Church of Scientology" that Cruise and others belong to?
It is an insult to adherents to Christian Science to confuse that faith, with the "Church of Scientology" developed by sc-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950's. Christian Science (you know the reading rooms and magazine) is a respected christian faith, and well the other "religion" (cult) has members like Tom Cruise who criticize Brooke Shields for taking medication for post partum depression, tell Matt Laurer he simply doesn't know anything about pharmacology, and jumps up and down on Oprah's couch.
Hawk:
That was what I was eluding to! Thanks for finishing my thoughts! LMAO!!!
Hey Hawkeye, thanks for pointing out the Scientology typo. As I was typing Ch- in referring to religion, I guess I defaulted to Ch-ristian, instead of Ch-urch. It's been changed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and my apologies if I offended any Scientologists.
I would think those offended would be Christian Scientist, considering how most people view the "Church of Scientology" referring to them as Christian Scientology as opposed to Church of Scientology would be nothing. I can't imagine any state electing a Scientologist to the senate! Although western Iowa repeatedly re-elects Steve King to the embarrassment of the rest of our state!
exactly my thoughts as well Hawkeye. It shows how desperate they are. Imagine what they have evolved into in such a short time. They don't care for Scientology any more than they care for Hispanics or Latina's-- they are really full of S.
Another insane Republican...that's all that we need; it appears as though they'll accept anything now. Where are the Christan Value shriekers? They've moved from being a party with "some" class to a party that will accept Rush Limbaugh as their leader and he's invited every hate group and neo-con that he has following him into the once "Grand Old Party". So sad to see them stoop to this level...
From cluckers to that other word that rimes so well with cluckers...
For those considering Angle please read:
According to Carl Cameron (Fox News) Tarkanian has moved into 2nd.
On an April 5-7 poll Angle was getting 5% of the vote. 6 weeks later she is pushing 30%. What has changed? Endorsements and money. I don’t believe the endorsements would have catapulted her forward on their own. Two endorsements, Tea Party Express (Sacramento) and Club for Growth (Washington) have put Angle in the position of spending like Lowden. Estimates are Angle (with help from the TPX/ CFG) will outspend Lowden $852,000 to $255,000 on ads/mailers over the last two weeks. Look at what Angle had to say to KOLO on May7 regarding Lowden:
“ There's a little evidence someone is trying to buy a senate seat rather than earn it."
Now we know who that person is. Sharon was barely on the radar screen before these groups from outside of Nevada dumped $1,000,000+ into her campaign. Had they not done that Angle would still be barely on the radar. The TPX/CFG money cannot go through Angle’s campaign but is that money any more private than the money Lowden has that Angle claimed was buying the race?
This election is being bought by the Tea Party Express and Club for Growth for Sharron Angle. Tarkanian is a viable candidate doing it the right way - by earning it. If you don't believe me believe the Tea Party Nation and the Tea Party Patriots who have called the Express on the carpet for getting involved by endorsing candidates. People need to realize the Tea Party Express was created and is run by the Political Consulting firm of Russo, Marsh and Rogers in Sacramento. This is all about them making money. Additionally, the Club for Growth has spent $335,000 on ads and mailers attacking conservatives.
Do we as Nevadan's want California and Washington controlling our elections? Vote Tarkanain.
