| #8 The corporations in the gaming biz are helped a lot by a weak dollar (because the revenues in Macao, etc. are bigger in dollars). That is going to happen because of the Feds recent actions. Reid and Angle have little to do with it. |

| #7 I'm sure SEIU will come to the aid of Nevada and bail them out (sarc on). |

| #6 He didn't steal the election. The only effective ads in the whole campaign were Nevadan republican leaders and businessmen came out for Harry Reid. Also, several articles came out saying the gaming industry was worried that if Harry lost it would be bad for the gaming industry. Well, y'all have sure fucked y'all'selves in that department. The entire gaming industry is dependent on the rest of us having money to literally piss away and watch swirl off into the pretty vortex when we pull the 'flush' lever. Looking at the Senate continuing to be Dem or Semi-Dem puts the kibosh on that for the next four years. And even IF things ever get better... people just aren't going to want to spend money for a while. |

| #5 Angle didn't lose because she is stupid. She's no genius but that's provably not a prerequisite for the Senate. She lost because she's not controlable. Not by the Republican power brokers, not by the big money gambling interests, and not by the government insiders. |

| #4 Lowden would have lost too. There's a reason she lost the primary. I liked Lowden but she wouldn't have survived the weak spots in her campaign against a man who was going to do whatever it took to survive. Perhaps the state district attorney will link him to the voting irregularities ... |

| #3 He didn't steal the election. The only effective ads in the whole campaign were Nevadan republican leaders and businessmen came out for Harry Reid. Also, several articles came out saying the gaming industry was worried that if Harry lost it would be bad for the gaming industry. In the end, although no one liked Harry, Angle was just too stupid to vote for even by Nevadan standards. Chalk this loss up to the Tea Party. Everyone expected Sue Lowden to win the primary. Two congressional districts went Repub yet the senator lost. Don't chalk up to conspiracy (vote stealing) which can be explained by incompetency (Repub candidate is f'ing idiot.) |

| #1 Well, all the polls had Angle up by a few points. There was a power failure during election. SEIU techs were responsible for making certain the voting machines "worked" (wink, wink). Reports started coming out that voting machines were not working properly. Voters voted for Angle and got Harry instead. What do you think? |
