#1 Effortlessly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?

#2 When Angle opens her mouth, its to speak the honestly. If the desert people don't like that, they get what they deserve, snakes like Reid.

#3 Redstate says the poll is a sham. Given the huge shift in numbers that's not hard to believe.

As for Angle, I fondly recall Tom Coburn's campaign for Senate. The Dems painted him as an "out of the mainstream" right wing whack job too. Now he's one of the best Senators we have. Just sayin.

#4 I have no doubt that the LVRJ can nudge a poll in whatever direction they want, just like the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Let's wait and see what more independent polls say.

However, Ms. Angle is a bit of a loose cannon, and you can believe that Dingy Harry is going to jump all over that, since he has nothing else on which to campaign. I respect the wishes of NV Republicans in who they chose to represent them in the election, but anyone with any sense could see this coming.

#5 Keep that walking fecal matter in office, Nevada, I dare you. I will never go to that idiot state again if you do. In fact, I will curse you.

IDIOTS

#6 If I were voting in Nevada, I would vote for just about anyone except Harry Reid. I'd go along with the notion of boycotting Nevada should they elect this bottom feeder again.

The election is still a toss-up depending on which polls you read. We are still a long way out from November. Reid apparently went negative and is getting some traction. I would think Angle would have a lot more ammo against Reid than he has against her.

#7 So 7 points is a 'Significant' lead for a Democrat, but 9 points is hardly worth mentioning, a dead heat, for a Republican?

#8 Rasmussen's numbers as of Tuesday:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is creeping forward and now is nearly tied with Republican Sharron Angle in his bid for reelection in Nevada.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Nevada finds Angle with 46% support, while Reid earns 43% of the vote. Six percent (6%) like some other candidate in the race, and five percent (5%) remain undecided.

This is Reidâs best showing all year and follows a visit by President Obama to the state to help his campaign.

Reid has also been trying to raise doubts about Angle and a solid plurality of voters now have negative perceptions of both candidates. Reid is viewed Very Favorably by just 26% of Nevada voters and Very Unfavorably by 48%. For Angle, Very Favorables are 18% and Very Unfavorables are 39%.

At this point in a campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the number of people with a strong opinion more significant than the total favorable/unfavorable numbers.

#9 She should shut her trap on social issues and stick to economics and role of government issues.
