LAS VEGAS -- In a year of anti-incumbent fervor and anger over the economy, how did Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) beat the odds and win a fifth term in a state battered by the bad economy?
A look at interviews with voters as they left the polls suggests it was by making Sharron Angle, his Tea Party-backed Republican opponent the issue, not the economy.
In a state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation, 40 percent of voters said they'd been laid off in the last two years -- and Reid won them, 49 percent to 39. In a state with the highest home foreclosure rate in the nation, 53 percent of voters said they or a relative were worried about losing their home -- and Reid and Angle split them, 46-48.
In the closing days of the campaign, Reid's TV ads pounded away at Angle, painting her as extreme and out of the mainstream--an opponent of Social Security and a proponent of privatizing the Veterans' Affairs Department and eliminating the Education Department.
In the exit poll, 44 percent said Angle was "too conservative," and Reid won moderates, 62-33.
At the same time, Reid's get-out-the-vote operation capitalized on Angle's tough stand on illegal immigration to mobilize Hispanics, who turned out at a greater rate than in the 2008 presidential election and voted for Reid, 66-31. And Reid got help from organized labor, as union households voted for him 69-29.
In this contest between the grassroots intensity of the Tea Party movement and a well-oiled campaign machine, the machine won.

Bunk. How many dead people and illegals voted for Harry?
Voter fraud has been committed in Nevada and it will be buried right next to obama's birth certificate, school records, etc.
Yeah, but they couldnt save Nancy!!!
Illinois does have a brain!!!
GO RUBIO!!!!
Obama: cue Paul McCartney and the Beatles…
Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
FedUpwithFed.
LOL! How appropriate and Hilarious! I couldn't have made the point better!
How could Nevada Voters be so STUPID!
Harry Reid's voting record and actions are a disgrace to Nevada. However, Harry Reid was smart enough to realize that keeping the focus off his record and stirring up "scare tactics" about Sharron Angle was the way to go. Stop for a second, draw a breath and ask yourselves: What was really sooo extreme about Sharron Angle?
Yes, Sharron Angle was conservative. However, considering the ultra liberal Democratic agenda and spending going on in Washington, DC, right now; a little "Check and Balance" wouldn't have hurt Nevada at all.
Have you forgotten that Harry Reid co-sponsored President Obama's failed Stimulus Federal Funding Package and ZERO federal funds were allocated for Nevada! Heck, Harry Reid has a Condo at the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC and Sharron Angle lives in a modest home in Reno. Our state unemployment has risen from 4% to 15.1% during Harry Reid's time in office. Plus, home foreclosures in Nevada, are one of the highest in the country. Harry Reid has done NOTHING to bring business to Nevada and stimulate the economy.
Now, we have Harry Reid for another 6 YEARS pushing Obama's Government Controlled Socialist Agenda's. How could the voters of Nevada have been so gullible and naive!
Harry REID PLAYED THE VOTERS OF NEVADA, LIKE A PUPPET ON A STRING!! TAKING THE FOCUS OFF HIMSELF BY BUILDING UP UNSUBSTANTIATED FEAR AND DOUBT IN SHARRON ANGLE.
Who says Harry Reid isn't musically inclined. He just played Nevada like a fine Violin!!
Sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don't. Yesterday Nevada didn't feel like a nut. Get over it.
Thanks Therese, I think the old folks in Nevada thought they were at the slot machine. Harry told them they would win big...and they fell for it.
Therese, dont forget the coked up monkeys....maybe he used them to vote for him?
"Coked up Monkeys" what a great name for a rock band.
FedupwithFed -- Great analogies to "Yesterday" and slot machines. Poor old Harry needs a better makeup artist - he always looks like a walking cadaver.
Thanks NJ! Hey, I kept looking for you at my party last night was that you that kept starting the wave?
Harry does look like a zombie....and votes like one too!
When President Johnson helped pass Civil Rights legislation in the 1960s he commented that: "Well, there goes the South." He meant, of course, that now the South would become Republican as they now saw the Democrats as the party standing up for the blacks.
Following the Civil War, the South defeated what little there was of Reconstruction when in a contested presidential election the Republicans under Hayes agreed to pull out Federal troops from the South in exchange for Hayes being president. After the troops wee gone, the whites took back any remaining outstanding power that blacks had and placed blacks in a new type of slavery: this one an economic slavery through the share-cropping system.
Southerners have traditionally dominated American politics to a greater extent than their proportional representation entitled them, because, although they were largely members of the Democratic party (because the South was poor), they could quickly shift their weight to the Republican party to pass conservative legislation or to block liberal legislation. They voted virtually as a block and this ability gave them legislative power. Southern Democrats were pretty solidly racist and voted to keep the racist system in place.
Following the Civil Rights legislation, the South temporarily lost some of its legislative power as its voters and politicians switched inexorably to the Republican party. This, of course, has made the Republican party even more conservative and racist than it had ever been following the death of Reconstruction.
The South also changed its religion. As the former Democratic South changed it allegiances in politics, so did it also start to change its allegiances in religion. In the days of the anti-slavery movement, when the Anglican ministers in the South would not support racism and pro-slavery sentiment, the South changed its religions to the more personal, evangelical religions whose ministers did support racism and slavery. An insistence on maintaining a racist structure leads also to an insistence on racists values and hence racist religions. Similarly, today's Southerners are abandoning the more staid evangelical religions for the highly personalized religions characterized by the phrase "born-again Christians." Whereas, many a Methodist or Baptist preacher would not now condone racism, the Southerners don't have to worry about this with their new preachers of born-again religion.
With the abandonment by the Southern Democrats of the Democratic party, blacks became somewhat more influential in the Democratic party, because the party was now much smaller than it had been. As a result, the Democratic party is somewhat more liberal than it used to be.
So the division between the two parties grew. The Republican party represented the wealthy industrialists and other rich persons, the South, and a good proportion of the working class and middle-class who were concerned that blacks were getting too much privilege in this country. (I watched a lot of coverage of the 2000 elections and I heard no one discuss the obvious: the entire old Confederacy went for the Republicans, plus the more rural parts of the Midwest -- with the exception of Ohio. So Bush won the election with a combination of the two R's: ruralism and racism. The networks are both too biased and/or too afraid of losing ratings by offending the South and Midwest, apparently.)
The Democratic party, although losing the South, did retain some of its traditional base, working class, some of the middle class, and the blacks. But by and large, the Democratic party was much weakened by the overall abandonment of the party by the South.
The end result was that the two parties now grew very far apart from each other ideologically speaking. The Republicans now had a very strong racist backing which made the party take very conservative stances. The Democrats had a cadre of liberals that kept its ideas in the liberal camp.
Since the two parties were so far apart from each other, many Americans, more in the ideological middle, not solidly racist, but certainly not pro-active for Civil Rights legislation, did not trust either of the parties. So the middle areas decided to practice split government. If the Democrats had the legislature, the voters would give the executive to the Republicans. If the voters gave the legislature to the Republicans, they tended to give the presidency to the Democrats. It was and not a perfect pattern, but the general trend is still true. The voters figure that it is better to have political stalemate than to have either party do something "radical," either to the political right or the left.
The new racism of the Republican party has expressed itself in some very ugly ways. Since the voters were not giving the Republicans a clear hand and they wanted to stop any more pro-Civil Rights legislation, they decided to take a strategy that would ultimately prove very destructive of the United States as a whole.
In a sense, they decided to bribe the American public. They took the stance that the government was a bad thing; that government over-taxed the public in order to waste money on destructive progressive legislation to help the blacks and other minorities. The Republicans basically said, vote for us and we will give the money to you. We will put your money back in your pocket instead of in the pockets of bad government. This way the voters would keep more money, and the Republicans would be able to stymie any further hope for a progressive government.
In a sense, the Republicans made a pact with the devil. They sold their political soul to the hatred of the government devil, in return for dominance in American politics. The Republicans demonized government and the liberals. And no one clearly denounces the Republican Party for being virtual anarchists -- always promising tax cuts and to hell with government functioning. Actually, there is a method to the madness of the Republicans. They claim that government is bad and so taxes have to be cut, then government functioning does indeed become bad in many areas because of the lack of funding, and then the Republican use the damage (that they caused) as evidence that government is no good. It because a destructive cycle with the government getting worse and the public becoming more and more cynical.
The conservative emphasis on hatred of government is very attuned with racism. Racism encourages hatred and hatred of government, especially a pro-Civil Rights government, is very compatible with racism. The forces of Republican, Southern, and born-again Christian racism and moralism reinforces each other in a blend of very nasty, vindictive rhetoric.
Southern racists have always insisted that they were more religious than any other segment of the population. And Southern religion, largely being racist, has an exaggerated sense of moralism. Vernon Johns always used to marvel that the most "religious" part of the country was also the worst violator of Civil Rights.
This attitudinal mixture of racist moralism, so typical of the South and now so typical of the Republicans, was practiced by the Republicans in spades and to excess to paralyze the presidency of the Democratic president, William Jefferson Clinton. The Republicans were able to paralyze the Democrats by their constant misuse of legislative committees and hearings. Somehow the Republicans have been able to substitute their racist moralism for any balanced sense of decency and fair play. Somehow they have decided that anyone in political life that they don't like and who has committed adultery is deserving of being replaced in political office or paralyzed in their exercise of political office.
It has been a long time since the American political culture has experienced such vindictive and hateful rhetoric. The moralists, who are supposed to be more moral than the rest of us, feel that it is justified to describe the president of the United States as a "scumbag," a "stupid, fat bastard," an "adulterer," a "rapist," etc. We became used to "hate" radio, but now with cable we have "hate" TV. Angry white men with a Republican bent now shout their anger and racist moralisms and accusations at the top of their lungs. On cable TV, almost the entire Fox News network is a very conservative, I would even say racist, network.
A great tragedy is that the liberals have not spoken up for themselves. They have not defended Democratic values and beliefs, but rather have either remained silent, or, like Senator Joseph Liebermann, have actually spoken out against President Clinton. (Liebermann wants to compete with the Republicans for moralism -- something which cannot be accomplished.)
The atmosphere these days is somewhat reminiscent of the McCarthy days. McCarthy was going around pretending he was more moral, more loyal, to the United States and that others were "beyond the pale" and had to be stopped, or at least punished. No one spoke up against McCarthyism until McCarthy went too far and took on the United States Army.
One reason for the Democrats silence and weakness against the moral terrorism of the Republicans is that the Democrats have themselves unleashed moralism by their insistence that everyone use "politically correct" speech. Liberals can go so far to the left in some areas that they come to resemble their opponents. The puritanism in the "politically correct" movement is one with the moralism of the racists. It's hard for Democrats to speak out against destructive moralists when they have been acting much the same way -- using moralism to enforce heterodoxy on their followers and others.
Another reason for Democratic weakness is the failure of the liberals to find, maintain, and use some measure of racism and hence a determination of who are the racists. Any charge of racism is easily deflected by conservative racists by them simply saying that they have black friends and have taken pro-black steps such as appointing blacks to political office. When a conservative Republican has virtually never voted for any progress Civil Rights legislation and indeed has actively worked against the passage of any progressive legislation, he ought to be called a "racist." But apparently the liberals, both black and white, are too scared to support some measure of racism so we could get a better handle on the racism of the Republican party.
At the present there is no effective Democratic spokesperson who can defend the party against the destructive moralism of the Republicans. There is no liberal who can effectively come out and expose the Republican party for its pact with the racist-moralist devil. This has left the Democrats pretty defenseless and considerably hopeless.
Americans love to go on witch hunts. The country experienced the Salem witch trials, the McCarthy era, the crazed search for child molesters in our kindergarten systems, and now the witch hunt for moral failings of politicians, and including, people who are even just considered "role models." Witch hunts are only stopped by people standing up to the fanatic hunters and telling them they have gone too far.
Frankly, the Republicans so misused their racism moralism once they got control over the legislature, that it would be better for the Democratic party to, in an era of divided government, to try to capture the legislature and let the Republicans have the presidency. Nothing much will get done, but that is normal in divided government. At least, we would not have to go through the nonsense we had to go through when Clinton was in office. There is only one president and so he is an easy target. There are too many Democratic legislators for them all to fall to charges raised against their personal morals by the moralistic Republicans.
The Republicans have certainly won this game of "moralism." Hopefully, Democrats will learn that it is impossible to out-moralize the racists. Instead, they should abandon extreme moralism as a destructive force in American life.
Hey back, Fed! I would have come if I didn't have this cold. The only productive thing I did yesterday was vote. I stayed awake as late as I could watching the returns and checking online what was happening in NJ - wow, my staunchly blue state is sure showing a lot of red now! Sigh, if we could get rid of NJ's current US senators and a few state people who are true to the corrupt NJ Dem machine and while ignoring their constituents/employers, I'll be happier.
@ ktvh (1.12) --- I thought that only NJ allowed dead people as well as the living to vote (and vote at several polling places on the same Election Day). Good to know that we're not alone in voting corruption.
Great, More of the same. if you lookat the numbers Reid Lost in almost every other county besides Clark.
Clark county is Las Vegas, Back in the 90's Reid Wanted to get rid of the hispanics, said the illegals were taking advantage of our resources and now he won Because of them. too bad they didn't look into his history before they voted. he campaigned for "change" but the only thing I have seen changing in my 30+ years in Las Vegas is Harry Reid's position on issues.
Nevada deserves better. PS I voted None of the above!
Even with all his problems he's miles better then Angle
Nevada, you blew it. With thinking and decisions like you have just made by sending a career, flip flopping politition back to Washington, you disserve what you have gotten and what you will get. This is a gamble that will not pay off. Anybody who has voted along party lines for all of Obama's agenda's doesn not have his constituants at heart; he only has his political career at heart. he could care less about Nevada. He only wants Nevada to have what he thinks you need. His agenda is nothing more than the bigger the government, the better. Doesn't that scare you? Do you fools really think the government is the answer to everything? Wha thappened to Government for the people, by the people. This nation, and Nevada is stuck with this clown for 6 six more years. Count them; six more years. You reap what you sow you shallow thinking robots. I am taking my money elsewhere; if i have any left after Reid and the other Cronnies get their hands on it. After all, you seem to think they know better what to do with than you do. Oh thats right, I forgot. You are standing in line for the hand for the Government hand outs. Let me tell you something. When you kill the goose that lays the golden egg (small business, small government, prive enterprise), you no longer get any golden eggs. Nevada (Clark County in particular), I hope you enjoy the Thanksgiving dinner Reid and the other Obama fecal heads ordered for you; golden goose served over an abundent bed of unemployment and an after dinner snack of dried fruit; compliments of the Obama family. You see, they had a lot left from halloween. Just another lesson in give the people what they want, not what you want them to have. Nevada, you have gambled with my future and the future of my family and all others across this great country. The scarriest part of all? When gambling, more loose than win. Who wins? Those who least disserve it. Who looses? Those who can least afford it. I applaud those of Nevada who showed some common sense. I know you are out there. Hunker down, we are in for a long battle. We can start correcting the wrong today and hopefuly in two years we can redeam ourselves.
Well, it's a shame that the wrong candidate won, but nevertheless...congratulations Senator Reid.
But don't rest on your laurels. Just like the Tea Party will be watching their candidates who won their elections, they will be watching you, too...like a hawk! Spending our money shamelessly, increasing the national debt/deficit, will have to stop as of now. The American people will want to know why you haven't done anything to contribute to strengthening the U.S.-Mexican borders, why the federal government continues to look the other way while Mexicans and others sneak into our country illegally.
Accountability is something new and foreign to you, Senator Reid and we the people, even those who voted for you, will be holding your feet to the fire. Good luck.
How Sad
The only Nevada politician that hasn't been caught w/ his pants down- cheating on his wife and paying hush money to the wife of his mistress or woman he harassed ect...etc...
The republicants in my state are disgusting, unethical, losers but Harry Reid a guy who simply goes to work every day, does what he says he'll do, takes care of and loves his wife and family- him you besmirch with vague negativity and sour-grapes and sore loser epitaphs... anger makes asses of you people, or maybe that's just who you are.
Yeah, but they're @!$%#s packing artillery.
Do you actually know anything about Reid, or do you just give him a pass because he's a Democrat?
If you can not spell Republican, then your the ass!! You better hope education is high on Reids list of things to fix! I guess the state prefers to gamble and whore around rather then fix whats wrong with the country!
Larry, that would be "you're the ass" not "your the ass". Yes, education is important...
You don't need a degree to deal blackjack.
You are an idiot. You only have to look at Reid's voting record to understand his politics. He's out to line his pockets and not to help you. He'll tell you anything you want to hear but his promises are empty. You may feel you've helped Nevada but....how long has he been inoffice and where does the people of Nevada stand today with his push. Wake up and smell the roses. He has voted for whatever Obama wanted with no hesitation and Obama stands for socialism. Changes to down grade America and the proud people we once were. How high can you hold your head today?
Yeah, right, Reid - the only politician that hasn't been caught with his pants down. Never mind the fact that he has been caught in some very questionable land deals - reaping hundreds of thousands profit for land he hadn't owned for three years - one deal in which he partnered with a lawyer suspected of connections to organized crime and a bribery scandal. And lets not forget that he had significant ties to Jack Abramoff....and that is only part of the story on this "upstanding politician" who works so hard to line his own pockets - - - I mean works so hard for the people of Nevada....
Scott - you need to get your head out of the desert sand....
But weren't most of the people who responded to this say he didn't do anything for Nevada? So how can you say that he does what he says he's going to do and how do you know that he doesn't have his fair share of skeletons in his closet? Grow up and wise up and join the real world. How'd he get the his posh digs at the Ritz Carlton to begin with.
He worked for it. Thank goodness Harry Reid won. Enough loose cannons got elected yesterday. The gop leaders are right to say that now is not the time for celebration. Now they have to contend with their ultra rightwing friends the tea partiers. This next session of Congress is going to be very interesting indeed. Their civil war is going to spill out for all to see.
not true! reid has been accused of shady land deals but the investigations have been suppressed.
So who says that the Democrats are going to re-elect Harry as their "leader." If anything, Democrats should know how ineffective and ridiculous his "leadership" has been. Mark my words, Harry will not be the majority leader next January ... If he is relected by his equivalents, then they are just showing how repugnant the Democrats truly are ... Next election they will be running from Reid like they did from Obama and Pelosi! Not re-electing him to majority leader would not change the Democrat's liberal leanings, but does get rid of one of the poorest excuses for a "leader" that has ever been in the Congress. Nevadans did not vote FOR Reid, they voted against what they were told to fear ini Angle and then hauled by the Unions to the voting booth to make this sad result happen in Nevada! Very sad given Reid's lack of any credibility in even helping Nevada, much less out Nation!
 stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, Nevada voters.
almost as stupid as Arizona McCain voters.
 Reid is such an @!$%#!! Buying the votes by saying whatever he needs to! He and the the other old politicians should use this gift as a way of getting this country on the right track or bama and all his boys will be out in two!!!
Sniff... Sniff... Fringe freaks like Angle won't win...
The comments about dead voters, illegals voting and Obama's birth certificate are so typically stupid comments from people who know nothing about government or the way it operates. I have worked the election booths in Nevada before, and everyone was very serious about supervising a fair election. There are more preventative measures to voter fraud than you are capable of knowing.
Reid won because Sharron Angle is a borderline psychopath with a plan for destroying education, benefits for seniors and veterans and no plan for helping the economy. The result shouldn't have surprised anyone. The biggest voting block in the nation is seniors and they did not show up to vote for someone who would go against their own interests.
It IS telling, however, that she got 45% of the vote.
I wonder what will happen when all those Baby Boomers finally kick it...
is your head buried in the sand there is voter fraud just last week they uncovered absentee ballots for over 5000 thousand voters that did not request one yet alone fill it out. when they ask the person in charge all he said the voter must have forgotten they did.
Re: the 2000 Presidential election?
Not saying precedent set by a president makes it right or anything, of course.
Maybe Harry Reid was reelected because the people in the State of Nevada appreciate his representation in the federal government. The polarization between far west and east as compared to deep south and midwest is graphically portrayed in this election. Some of these states entire budgets and production would fit on a postage stamp.
Including several that languished under the control of Democrats for years and years. Pennsylvania and Ed Rendell, anyone? Anyone?
Bueller, Bueller? Fry, Fry, Fry, Fry...?
I don't live in NV, but I have a comment........
Hey PALIN, go back to Alaska and shoot something.........!!!
Better yet, instead of going back to Alaska and shooting someTHING, Why doesn't she go to Nv. and shoot something?
Great. Now if only Harry can do whatever he did to stop "a worldwide depression" and apply it to his own little state. Nothing more corrupt in elections than the unions and illegals committing voter fraud. I'd be sooooo depressed if I lived in Nevada.
i know... I am not a politician, basically I scrutinize everything they say and automatically assume they are lying... so this year I tried very very hard to watch with an open mind... I came to the conclusion that what I was going to base my vote on was how well are they serving us? How well are they keeping their promises to make our lives better and stronger? And I watch as Nevada struggles with the highest foreclosure rates in the nation as well as unemployment and wondered the same thing...for a guy who supposedly "Saved the world from a world wide depression" how come my friends in Nevada must suffer like they are then? And the immigration/hispanic issue he campaigned so vehemently against in Engle.... when just a few years ago he was on the same war path? So I was kind of shocked actually to see he won...and felt sorry for my fellow American Nevada brothers and sisters because I am not at all sure he has or will try to make their lives better... I could be wrong, but I think Harry is all about Harry and not losing his power chair... i sincerely hope I am wrong...but the last 18 months have been telling with the foreclosure stats and unemployment.
I am a Nevadan, CindyB, and I agree 100% with your assessment of Harry Reid.
what did you ge for your vote? new crooks in DC? at least I got a gift card for mine! It will be politics as usual no matter who is there!
What did you get for your vote? More crooks in DC? At least I got a gift Card For Mine! Nothing will change it will be business as usual more fighting between party's. trying to scare old people who vote. and party on!
Reid won because the 14 % feared they would lose their 99 week of unemployment. How to the hell did he win when he trailed in very poll.
I'm glad Reid won. He's not my favorite person, but Angle was a total nutcase.
Is a total nutcase. The nut isn't dead yet.
The ONLY way Harry Reid was reelected is do to Voter Fraud (How many Illegal Immigrants voted? A bunch I would say) and the Unions. Please don't tell me he ONLY carried the county Las Vegas is in and it just so happens that the voting machines in that county are CONTROLLED by the service Union. There is no doubt that the Illegal Hispanic vote played a big part in this fraudulent election.
WOW how lucky for Reid. Look for Harry coming soon to a TV near you as star off "The Stupid Criminal" films.
to swmoman; you are a racist person, just hispanics american citizen vote for him, that why we did again, and we are ready to do again 2012
Check the machines there may be voter fraud... cannot believe he won... did they bus in the Hispanics to help .
I hope all the numbers that came in last night wakes up the Presdient..... Do the peoples will not your own.....
I cannot believe it...more of Harry Reid....what were the folks in Nevada thinking?! Either they are suffering from amnesia or they have short term memory...this guy is an IDIOT!!! Highest unemployment, highest forclosure rate, highest job loss....stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid people. Dont drink the water in Nevada!!!!
Reid won for one fact only. He's a Ice cream vendor and a very good one at that. Any one who is successful in the political field has to be one. They figure out what the flavor of the day is and then give out double scoops of it. Those that cry out fraud and unions for there defeats just go ahead. You will win when you figure out the correct way to do it. But then there is as a few of the losers have said in the past that there is always the "second admendment solution" to the problem. As for all the results, no big supprises. The ones selling the most appealing flavors for there areas won. It will be interesting for the next two years for a lot of you out there when your ice cream melts. As for me I voted none of the above, not a one deserved to be elected.
I live in Northeast Nevada and did not vote for Harry Reid because I based all my votes on whoever was not the current incumbent. It is a sad outcome that Nevadans elect an individual based on Clark county almost entirely. All anyone has to do is look at the state from a red/blue perspective and they will see two large blue dots in Las Vegas and Reno with the rest of the state colored red. I do hope that those people who voted for Reid are getting what they asked for because last time I looked the highest unemployment and foreclosure rates were in those two cities. If they believe that having the same person in a seat of power when all that "change" took place, then the best of luck to them.
Myself on the other hand, will still enjoy a stable local economy, stable home values, and employment opportunities and hope for the best for the residents of LV and Reno! Enjoy your decision because now you must live with it!
VOTER FRAUD ALERT!!!! if the Republicans let this ride and don't challenge this election based on the "found, fraudulent absentee ballots", they are aiding the DIMS in their fraud against America ! RECOUNT and VERIFY!!!!! that HAS to be the voter mantra!!!
If the GOP had run a more moderate candidate, it would have been a landslide victory. Angle was an over-compensatory reaction equivalent to jerking the steering wheel hard right when drifting left.
I don't disagree with you StopandThink.....the GOP started out not loving her....she just had the grassroots suppor so hey went with her.
Sour grapes!!! How could any one vote for the nut that wants to destroy us seniors??? We worked ourselves to the bone ... ... she wants to take our security???
to: magdalena villaronga
I'm a senior on Soc. Sec. and Angle was no threat. You need to do your homework and not just listen to Harry Reid's ads against her. Do you believe everything he had to say? If so, then you deserve what you get. Reid has been in office how many yrs. and how is Nevada doing today??? Think about that for awhile and then consider where your going to be in another six years of Harry Reid. He's not looking out for you....he's Obama's lap dog. Socialism in the works.
It's NOT done unless "Term Limite" is in!!!!!!!!!!!
