#1 I will give Harry credit, he has made himself almost invisible on the national scene. Not giving his opponent any sound bites for which to beat him with. But he will have to defend his votes and policies sooner or later. He is toast unless the Republican challenger has a lot of ghosts in their closet.

#2 Harry might hope the Angle will win the primary and drive RHINO Pub voters to him. More likely is that everyone is so fed up with him that just about anyone the Pubs field will win. Tarkanian is up 10.0% over Reid. Angle is nearly up that much over Reid. Lowden is up 10.5% over Reid. The Pubs need to keep pushing here to get the win. Harry has a lot of soundbites in the archives that will come back to haunt him.

#3 I have a small fund for making political donations where they will do the most good (thanks to some recent overtime).

Any suggestions which candidate I should donate to in this race? I really want Reid GONE, but don't want to waste my money on someone who can't win. (Maybe that's cold, but the fund's small and there are other candidates in other states to consider.)

#4 What happened to Tarkanian? I thought he was neck-and neck a month ago with establishment-Lowden.

#5 Lowden has led from the start IIRC. The best part is they are not doing an intraparty bloodbath on the way to the primary win

#6 Any suggestions which candidate I should donate to in this race?

Angle. I talked to her for a half hour last Saturday at Gerlach's Meet The Candidates forum. Very nice, very together, and very sharp.
