More 2012: Nevada special set for Sept. 13

IOWA: “GOProud will kick off its efforts for the 2012 cycle at the Ames Straw Poll in Iowa in August. The conservative, pro-gay rights group plans to have a large presence at the event that traditionally starts the presidential campaign season in the Hawkeye State,” Roll Call reports.

NEVADA: “Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) said Friday that he plans to call a September 13 special election to fill the seat Rep. Dean Heller is vacating to join the Senate,” Roll Call writes.

“Nevada Republican Sharron Angle warned supporters in a fundraising email Friday that while she wants Rep. Dean Heller's (R-Nev.) soon-to-be-vacant House seat, ‘the left wing of the Republican Party wants it more,’” The Hill reports.

Angle said she wants the seat to be vacated by Heller, but the left wing of the Republican Party wants it more. The "left wing of the Republican Party ?" Would that be moderates *gasp*, the normal, sane people ?

I didn't know the Republican Party had a left wing. I thought they just circled continuously to the right, out of control, like an airplane moving toward its inevitable crash.
