Reid deadlocked with Angle in new poll
Posted: August 13th, 2010
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - It appears Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's political fate will come down to the very narrow sliver of Nevada voters who say they are still undecided about whom to vote for in November's election.
According to a new Mason-Dixon poll conducted for the Las Vegas-Review Journal, Reid leads Republican Sharron Angle by a statistically insignificant 2 points, 46-44 percent, while only 5 percent of Nevada voters report they are undecided. Two percent, meanwhile, said they wanted another candidate with an additional 3 percent indicating "none of the above."
The new survey also suggests Reid's primary campaign strategy – telling voters his leadership post allows him to bring home the bacon for Nevadans – doesn't appear to be widely resonating. A bare majority says Reid's No. 1 post in the Senate isn't a sufficient reason to vote him back into office, while 45 percent agreed Reid's influence is a compelling enough reason to vote for the four-term Democrat.
The poll, conducted Monday-Wednesday of this week, surveyed 625 likely Nevada voters and carries a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Earlier in the week the Reid campaign stepped up its efforts to paint former Nevada lawmaker Sharron Angle, a favorite of the Tea Party movement, as unfit for the Senate.
A new Reid commercial airing across the state declares Angle as "too extreme" whose controversial statement that angry voters may resort to "Second Amendment remedies" "goes way over the line."

He'll also call her a "nutbag" or some other name for the 100th time because she's open about her faith like Obama, Ron Paul, etc. :)
-
I think she is going to pull this thing out TBH.
The reason being that by November as the economy gets even worse, anyone w D next to their name is going to be so toxic that even the Angles of the world will seem better.
-
the independent voters [ the intelligent voters] are going to see she is nothing but a retard and vote for Reid ;D

There are other issues at play. NV has the highest UE of any state and people may go looking for people to blame who are in power.
BTW - the independents voted for Bush in 2004. Were they intelligent then? What about in 1980 and 1984 when they voted for Reagan. What about 1988 when they voted for Bush?
Or is it only when they vote for the Dem they are intelligent?

you lost all credibility when you said you would vote for palin for pres. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Enough said. i don't see how she could have delivered worse results than this. I already said, if for no other reason than the SC, I will vote for her if she is the nominee.
-
... I will vote for her if she is the nominee.
Nothing will guarantee Obama another 4 years like Palin as the Republican Teabag party nominee. Bring it on. ;D

The growing independent support for Democratic House candidates represents a significant shift in attitudes since the 2004 election, when Democrats held only a slim advantage. In winning reelection, Bush narrowly lost the independent vote, 50 percent to 48 percent, and in the vote for the House, independents split 50 to 46 for Democratic candidates.

do you check your facts or just make shit up ;D

It seems like most of Angle's supporters don't even live in NV.
She's a nutcase, plain and simple, and of course that doesn't make Reid any better since he has done no good for NV, quite the contrary.
I've said it before, Nevada is plagued with the worst mainstream political choices ever.
I wish more Nevadans would vote for independent candidates than follow party line and blindly vote Reid or Angle just because the candidate is from "their party".

I laugh out loud when libs say Angle is loony or a kook.Based on what?Has she ever done anything as nutty as sit in a racist church for twenty years and become so entranced by the racist preacher that she wrote a book based on his words?
Has she ever been friends with a domestic terrotist like Bill Ayers?Ever hung out with a fool and ahole like "Father Flager"?Ever had a friend like Van Jones?
This 'Angle is a nut" is a democrat talking point,perpatrated by lame brains like Ed Shultz and Olbermann and just repated by other libs.On election day her voters will come out,Reids voters will stay home.

I really think Reid is done. By the time November rolls around, UE will be up, the economy continuing to collapse, Obama still on vacation screwing over taxpayers, the dems still comnnusits shilling for the worst elements of society, etc.
Anyone remotely with a D next to their name is in trouble.

Angle is a nutbag and really sort of a bizarre person too. If you don't see it then you probably identify with her which would make it impossible for you to see or understand why others thinks she's a loon. This is nothing new, the same goes for Palin, Bachmann and a handful of other radical nutbags on the left.
Reid Absolutely Positively SUCKS but that's got nothing to do with Angle
If Reid wins maybe the GOP will finally wake up and run some viable candidates

The election will not be about her by Nov. it will be about Obama, the economy, and those who supported obama and the last two years of chaos, which is Reid.

Reid breaks with Obama, opposes Ground Zero mosque
ww.thehill.com
By Michael O'Brien - 08/16/10 03:09 PM ET
________________________ ________________________ ________________________ _______
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Monday that he's opposed to building an Islamic center near the site of the 9/11 attacks.
Reid, who is locked in a tough reelection campaign, broke with President Obama in calling for the New York center to be built somewhere else. Obama on Friday endorsed the right of a group to build the center, which includes a prayer space, near Ground Zero.
"The First Amendment protects freedom of religion," Reid spokesman Jim Manley said in a statement. "Sen. Reid respects that but thinks that the mosque should be built someplace else."
Reid is the most senior Democrat to come out in opposition to the mosque.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.), an Independent who caucuses with Democrats, had questioned the wisdom of building the mosque, too. Other Democrats, like Rep. Keith Ellison (Minn.), the first Muslim member of Congress, have said that it's up to Democrats to support religious liberty.
The majority leader had been under pressure from his GOP opponent, Sharron Angle, to address the proposed mosque. Angle's campaign had said Reid "has a responsibility to stand up and say no to the mosque at Ground Zero or once again side with President Obama."
Angle's move reflects the desire by Republicans to make the controversy a national campaign issue.
Reid's spokesman used the mosque controversy to hammer Republicans who voted against a bill extending health benefits to first responders to the Sept. 11 attacks. That legislation stalled in Congress before lawmakers left for recess.
"If the Republicans are being sincere, they would help us pass this long-overdue bill to help the first responders whose health and livelihoods have been devastated because of their bravery on 9/11, rather than continuing to block this much-needed legislation," Manley said.

I'm dumbfounded that there's even a single American that would support something named after Cordoba, Spain. Shows how many uninformed and ignorant morons there are out there. The name alone tells you that this mosque is nothing more than a sign of Islamic supremacism.
Those comments read like the textbook on apologist idiocy.

Typical lib,you cant name ONE thing she has done thats nutty.Calling for an end to social security is a lot less nutty then Reid saying the program is in fine shape.
Liberals can only call names,they cant argue facts.They say Palin is an idiot,but when you bring up Obamas foolishness they simply respond by saying "if you dont think Palin is an idiot then your an idiot".They are doing the same thing with Angle.
Ed Sultz actually has Al Sharpton discussing the nuttiness of Angle.Can you imagine that?Al Sharpton-Tawanna Brawley Sharpton.Once again,NOTHING Angle ever has done or said,or will do or say comes within a mile of attending a racist black liberation theology church for twenty years and hanging out with a domestic terrorist like Bill Ayers,yet to liberals,thats normal and calling for an end to social security [which is bankrupt]is nutty.

This coming from a guy who voted for a racist president that is best friends with Rev. Wright,Bill Ayers and father flager.Nice try left wing loon,but your man is the biggest screw ball in politics...THE WHITE MANS GREED RUNS A WORLD IN NEED-Barrack Hussein Obama.
I dont have to do a search to find Obamas insanity,all I have to do is pick up a newspaper any day of the week to see another idiotic left wing loon statement he has made...ITS OBVIOUS THE POLICE ACTED STUPIDLY-Barrack Hussein Obama.

when you bring up Ayers and call him Obama's best friend and in earlier posts on this thread you mention Al Sharpton-Tawanna Brawley do you really expect me to take anything you say seriously?
I mean really man - do you honestly expect comments like that to will make me think you're rational and worth spending time having a conversation with?
We can't even have a discussion about opposing points of view because your point of view is as nutty as anything Angle has said or more.
You invalidate yourself from any serious dialogue

Ummm,I guess you get annoyed by facts.Obama started his political campaign in the living room of Bill Ayers.Sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortbale but I guess the truth hurts.
Al Sharptons list of offenses are legendary,from Twanna Brawley,a total farce,to get rid of the white interlopers,to "we were here before those greek homos".Im sorry if the truth bothers you,but thats another typical lib response,avoid the truth.You have learned well from Saul David Alinsky,never respond to facts.
Once again,you cant respond to any charge about Obama because they are facts,so you try to insult me[poorly by the way].You cant come up with one charge against Angle but just keep repeating "she is a nut" and think that wins the day.I half expect the usual,typical "your a racist,your a racist" rant very soon.

having some event hosted by Bill Ayers does not make him Obama's best friend or even his friend at all. Why is it dipshits like you can't understand this after all this time
What's Sharpton or Brawley have to do with Obama, much less Reid or Angle
We get it, you're a middle aged white guy who is scared of black people
Do you see why you're a complete and total waste of time?

Hmmm,are you confused?I was referring to you using the exact same talking points as Ed Shultz ,who puts Al Sharpton on his show to prove Angle is a nut.I was showing the stupidity of the left in using absolute racist kooks to prove others are kooks,thats why the Sharpton thing.
But,as predicted,it was just a matter of time you played the race card.Its what you libs do."your scared of black people",yes,we are very afraid,much like you crap in your pants at Palin and Angle and the tea party,which is why you always insult them,your afraid of them as they show how idiotic Barrack Hussein Obamas policies are.So,we might be afraid of black people,but not as afraid as you libs are of conservatives,which is why you make up lies,and we can deal with facts.
Once again,still waiting for one example of Angle being a kook...OH wait,much like the silly fools at MSNBC and the other libs,you dont deal in facts,just accusations and insults,sorry I forgot.

billy defends angle by attacking obama.
it's like he's saying "I dont want to talk about her - let's talk about what obama did!"
fact is, reid was getting destroyed by "unknown GOP candidate" 75 to 25. Angle was the best thing he could have hoped for. Polarizing and batshit crazy as they come. Reid sucks, but choosing a far-right candidate is hurting the repubs in this case.

RCP, Rasmussen, Gallup, and all the others are showing the widest margins ever for the GOP going into 2010 election.
-
240 - you really need to up your game.
The GOP leads by more than ever and the dems and your hero are finished after November. I won't be surprised if Obama resigns once he realizes he will get nothing whatsoever that he wants after November other than subpoenas from Issa looking into the this crime family known as the Obama admn.

YOU are the ones claiming she is a nut.I simply asked for an example of her being a nut.You left wing loons[which you are a leader on here]throw out accusations but cant back up one claim you make.I say if she is a nut,what does that make a man that sat in a racist loon church for twenty years.
You leftists,who support Obama with every post,defend him as a briliant politician and Angle as a loon.Im not the one making the accusation that she is a nut YOU are,so prove it.I can prove Obama is a left wing whack job with examples not lies.I can prove the accusations I make,can you?

Rasmussen: Reid, Angle in Dead Heat
Wednesday, 18 Aug 2010
The U.S. Senate race in Nevada remains very close.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Nevada shows Democratic Sen. Harry Reid and his Republican challenger Sharron Angle tied with 47 percent of the vote each.
Five percent prefer some other candidate, and 2 percent are undecided.
Two weeks ago, Reid held a two-point advantage over Angle.
Earlier this year, Reid was considered to be one of the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbents. He picked up just 39 percent of the vote following Angle’s primary victory but has seen his own numbers improve to 41 percent in late June, 43 percent in early July, 45 percent in late July and 47 percent today.
For Angle, the numbers have been heading in the opposite direction. The GOP nominee attracted 50 percent of the statewide vote following her primary victory in early June. That fell to 48 percent later that month, 46 percent in early July, and 43 percent in late July.
The current survey represents the first time her support has increased since the primary.
When leaners are included in the new totals, Angle attracts 50 percent of the vote, while Reid picks up 48 percent.
This is the first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in Nevada to include leaners. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning toward a particular candidate.
Early in any campaign, the numbers without leaners are generally more significant. Later in a campaign, the numbers with leaners matter more.
With this latest survey, Nevada shifts from Leans Democratic to Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power summary.
Voters in Nevada already have staked out firm positions on the candidates. Eighty-eight percent of Reid’s supporters say that they are certain to vote for him and won’t change their mind. Eight-five percent of Angle’s supporters say the same.
The survey of 750 likely voters in Nevada was conducted on August 16, 2010, by Rasmussen Reports.
Both Reid and Angle earn overwhelming support from members of their own parties. Angle leads among voters not affiliated with either major party by a 52 percent to 35 percent margin.
Nevada voters have a gloomier assessment of the economy than voters in many other states. Only 6 percent rate the economy as good or excellent, while 66 percent describe it as poor. Twenty-six percent say the economy is getting better, but twice as many (53 percent) think it’s getting worse.
Eighty percent of all Nevada voters say the country is in an economic recession.
Twenty-six percent of the state’s voters hold a very favorable opinion of Reid, who has represented Nevada in the Senate since 1987. But 44 percent view him very unfavorably.
Angle, a former state legislator, is viewed very favorably by 17 percent and very unfavorably by 39 percent.
At this point in a campaign, Rasmussen Reports considers the number of people with strong opinions more significant than the total favorable/unfavorable numbers.
Forty-five percent of Nevada voters now approve of the job President Obama is doing, but 55 percent disapprove. This is in line with Obama’s job approval ratings nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

billy defends angle by attacking obama.
it's like he's saying "I dont want to talk about her - let's talk about what obama did!"
fact is, reid was getting destroyed by "unknown GOP candidate" 75 to 25. Angle was the best thing he could have hoped for. Polarizing and batshit crazy as they come. Reid sucks, but choosing a far-right candidate is hurting the repubs in this case.
You do the same fucking thing anytime Obama is brought up. I can't even count how many threads about Obama that you've managed to drag Palin into. In-fact, at this point, I don't think you're actually capable of talking about Obama without referencing Palin. You're THAT obsessed with her.
And the fact that Reid is even tied with Angle speaks wonders about how disliked he is. She's a terrible candidate, and he's just as bad.
-
According to RCP today they are tied.
-

Exactly.
It's been mentioned so many times but people are just too blindly obedient to party line. Reid is terrible and few,if any, Nevadans think he has done anything remotely positive. However that does not make Angle any more suitable. I have no doubt that many people would support Angle with a heavy conscience just to get rid of Reid (pun intended). Of course this is not prudent but it explains Angle's numbers and just shows how hated Reid is, if so many people would support her just to get rid of him. Nevada probably has the worst choice for candidates out of every state.

[Dick] Morris was asked about the race in Nevada, where Republican Sharon Angle will seek to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in November.
“On primary day, Angle was about 9 points ahead when she got the nomination. Then Reid dumped $1 million on negative media, taking a quote from her where she said I want to phase out Social Security and Medicare and saying, see, she wants to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. With that ad, she fell behind.
“You know what Churchill said — a lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth gets its shoes on in the morning.
“After Reid had done that, I went out and was very active in raising money for an independent expenditure for Angle. We raised $400,000 and we put out the facts — the full quote, which is, I want to phase out Social Security and Medicare’s method of financing so the Democrats can’t raid the money and use it for their budget deficit.
“So when people saw the truth of what Angle had said, they turned against Reid and now Angle is ahead.”

actually I backed single payer
what we got was a poor alternative
I also backed a larger stim bill so you're pretty much wrong on both counts.........yet again
btw - if you recall I was completely against the original bank bailout and still think it was a money grab but the banksters who seem to actually run our country (apparently with our indifferent consent)

Rasmussen: Reid, Angle in Dead Heat
Friday, 03 Sep 2010
Democratic Sen. Harry Reid and his Republican challenger Sharron Angle are still neck-and-neck in Nevada’s race for U.S. Senate.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows the candidates tied with 45 percent of the vote each. Five percent prefer another candidate and 6 percent more are undecided.
Reid and Angle were tied two weeks ago at 47 percent apiece.
Earlier this year, Reid was considered to be one of the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbents. He picked up just 39 percent of the vote following Angle’s primary victory but has seen his own numbers improve to 41 percent in late June, 43 percent in early July, 45 percent in late July and 47 percent in mid-August.
This is the first survey since Angle’s victory which failed to show an increase in support for Reid. However, the current numbers match the average of the last three surveys suggesting a level of stability has entered the race.
For Angle, the numbers have been heading in the opposite direction. The GOP nominee attracted 50 percent of the statewide vote following her primary victory in early June. That fell to 48 percent later that month, 46 percent in early July, and 43 percent in late July.
The 47 percent support she received in August represented the first time her support had increased since the primary. As with Reid, her numbers appear to have stabilized.
The race remains a Tossup in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.
When leaners are included in the new totals, Reid attracts 50 percent of the vote, while Angle picks up 47 percent. Two weeks ago, Angle held a small 50 percent to 48 percent edge over Reid among leaners.
Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning toward a particular candidate.
Early in any campaign, the numbers without leaners are generally more significant. Later in a campaign, the numbers with leaners matter more.
After Labor Day, Rasmussen Reports will report the numbers with leaners as the primary indicators of the campaign.
The survey of 750 Likely Voters in Nevada was conducted on Sept. 1, 2010, by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
Ninety-two percent of Angle’s supporters now say they are certain of their vote this November, up seven points over the past two weeks. Eighty-five percent of voters who back Reid say they are certain of their vote.
Angle is backed by 83 percent of Republicans while Reid is supported by 78 percent of Democrats in the state. The candidates are in a virtual tie among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
Like voters in the rest of the country, Nevada voters put the economy first when it comes to how they vote. Fifty-one percent say economic issues are the most important in determining how they vote.
Reid holds a 56 percent to 38 percent lead over Angle among voters who consider economic issues to be the most important.
Reid is viewed Very Favorably by 25 percent but Very Unfavorably by 43 percent.
Angle’s reviews are 18 percent Very Favorable, 38 percent Very Unfavorable.

she's got the anti-incumbent sentiment on her side.
he's got decades of experience running campaigns and winning elections - the GOTV infrastructure, knows how to cheat, etc.
it'll probably come down to economy, which may be worse then - which might actually help dems: Reid holds a 56 percent to 38 percent lead over Angle among voters who consider economic issues to be the most important.

Angle knows that her worst enemy is herself
that's why she will basically spend the next 2 months playing duck and cover
My prediction is that the Tbag candidates will all lose in the general election and all for the same reason
The majority of voters would rather have a dem they don't necessarily like rather than a bat shit lunatic that they don't trust and who might not even be playing with a a full deck
-
It's not that she's crazy.........
It's that she's batshit insane.

And yet she remains deadlocked with Reid. It says a lot about how bad the anti-Dem sentiment is right now when someone that crazy is deadlocked with one of the most powerful Dems on the hill.

reid is a piece of dog shite as a candidate who was losing 75 to 25 to 'unnamed repub'
this may end up being a case of repubs snatching defeat from jaws of victory, by choosing such an extreme candidate just because they could. A calm moderate repub would be destroying Reid by 30 points right now.

exactly right and that's is going to be the downfall of the Repubs
there are not enough mentally unstable people in their party to support a teabag candidate in the general election
it's the real "Palin Effect"
-
Even though Angle is not the extremist that people here make her out to be, I have to say that 240 is right on this one: she is a bad candidate, and anybody right now should be clobbering Reid. This is another reason I do not call myself a member of the tea party. But Im confused. I have heard people from the Tea Party say many times that they like to concentrate on fiscal issues instead of social issues, because they feel that social issues divides people, so why did they select Angle? Now, dont get me wrong, Angle is not an extremist like a lot of narrow minded secular twits make her out to be. But it never the less is politicaly foolish of her or any Republican to even mention social issues right now, or anything that has to do with religiion.

I wouldn't expect Angle or anyone else to be in anything other than a tight race with the Senate Majority Leader. He has the power of the incumbency, more money, etc. The fact he is in a dogfight speaks volumes.

this would be true IF he wasn't losing 25 to 75 to 'unnamed repub candidate' just a few months back.
Or, better put:
What if Dean Heller or Jon Porter had challenged Harry Reid?
Before Sharron Angle became a national political figure and even before the Nevada Senate race made the idea of bartering chickens for health care a national joke, there was a chance that a Republican of real stature would step up to challenge Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The top two prospects were Rep. Dean Heller and former Rep. Jon Porter — experienced, capable pols who would have raised plenty of money and likely avoided the trail of gaffes that plagued Angle and her primary opponents. A Mason-Dixon poll in August 2009 showed Heller leading Reid by 10 percentage points.
Reid’s still in serious peril, but the chief reason he’s not a dead man walking — and that Democrats aren’t currently figuring out how to cut him loose — is that he’s shrewdly exploited the weaknesses of his opponents. Heller or Porter wouldn’t have made that so easy for him.

Pretty meaningless poll. Dick Morris had a good explanation, which I posted earlier in this thread:
[Dick] Morris was asked about the race in Nevada, where Republican Sharon Angle will seek to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in November.
“On primary day, Angle was about 9 points ahead when she got the nomination. Then Reid dumped $1 million on negative media, taking a quote from her where she said I want to phase out Social Security and Medicare and saying, see, she wants to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. With that ad, she fell behind.
“You know what Churchill said — a lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth gets its shoes on in the morning.
“After Reid had done that, I went out and was very active in raising money for an independent expenditure for Angle. We raised $400,000 and we put out the facts — the full quote, which is, I want to phase out Social Security and Medicare’s method of financing so the Democrats can’t raid the money and use it for their budget deficit.
“So when people saw the truth of what Angle had said, they turned against Reid and now Angle is ahead.”

So what? 240 - you have been beyond brain dead for well over 6 months in your failure to percieve the mood of the country as a result of what your heros are doing. .
A massive tsunami is going to sweep her into office along with rubio, buck, rand paul, carly, etc.
Just the gov race alone in nevada is going to get her about 3 to 5 extra points.

in the last 2 weeks, she has gotten pretty shrewd with her answers. she used to just blurt out things like "i dont go on networks besides FOX because it doesn't lead to donations" and "let's phase out soc security".
She's been very good at making more politically correct statements in the last 2 weeks.

Reid: Don't blame me for high unemployment in Nevada
The Hill
________________________ ________________________ __________
Reid: Don't blame me for high unemployment in Nevada By Jordan Fabian - 09/07/10 12:31 PM ET
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday expressed confidence in his prospects for reelection and said that voters should not blame him for economic woes in his state and around the country.
In a wide-ranging interview with ABC News that aired on an afternoon webcast, Reid said that he has worked hard as majority leader to create jobs and should not be held accountable for Nevada and the nation's continuing economic woes.
"It would take a real stretch to think I caused the problems with the economy, and that's what she is trying to do," Reid said referencing his GOP opponent, Sharron Angle. "You know that I have nothing to do with those unemployment figures, in fact I have worked hard to change them ... I think it is my job to create jobs.
"As you know, I tried to do a lot of things to stop the Bush red spending" that left the nation with a ballooning budget deficit, Reid said. "I don't have any hand in what took place during the Bush administration — I tried to rein that in."
Reid added that he has "worked really hard" during the Obama administration to jump-start the economy and that the situation is beginning to improve.

Harry Reid arrives at clean energy summit. . . in a fleet of giant SUVs
________________________ _________________
Clean, Green Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rolled up to the Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada last week. . . in a fleet of giant SUVs.
The Heartland Institute reports that while the Senate Majority Hypocrite "and other high-profile environmental activists blasted carbon-based fuels at the Reid-sponsored summit, Reid and other bigwigs were caught on film driving to and from the summit in several SUVs."
"I was absolutely astonished, not to mention appalled, that Harry Reid would retain a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs so that he and a few aides would not have to walk the mere 100 yards to address environmental activists," said Heartland Institute Senior Fellow James M. Taylor, who took the attached photo. "If greenhouse gas emissions are such a problem, you would think Reid might have actually made the short stroll through the parking lot, or at least retain Priuses rather than large SUVs for the summit," said Taylor.
Reid's arrogance is routine in Washington where pols ride in Secret Service-provided GMC Yukons and Chevy Suburbans while denouncing SUVs as wasteful transportation to the peasants.

You are an idiot and you have proven my point.You do nothing but repeat what you hear on Maddow and Olberman.How would allowing people to take a small percentage of their social security taxes[I think Bush suggested about 3%]and put them into their own retirement plan cause homelessness?Keep watching and repeating Olberman you look as dumb as he does.

1) Privatizing Social Seucity.
Had bush passed this 5 years ago, you'd have millions of americans today - HOMELESS - cause they're forced to put their retirement into a market we all kinde suspect is rigged.
I got news for you, social security is not only unconstitutional, it is the biggest shell game the government has going. On top of that the government doesn't have to give you one fucking penny of the money you paid into Social Security. Go on down to the social security office and ask them to show you your account, it doesn't fucking exist, there is no money there just a pile of fucking IOU's. I would much rather be able to invest a mere 3% into something at my own risk, than trust a fucking government IOU. Sometimes I think you are little more than a functional retard.

Brawl erupts at Reid, Angle election forum
By LAURA MYERS
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
________________________ ________________________ __
Supporters of U.S. Sen. Harry Reid and his GOP challenger Sharron Angle brawled at the end of a Senate race forum at a local Christian school.
A half-dozen bystanders tried to separate the combatants, one male Angle backer and two female Reid supporters, before security guards intervened.
"I didn't expect anything like this, not in a million years," said the Rev. Robin Joyce, one of the organizers of the event at Faith Lutheran Junior/Senior High School in Summerlin. "Our whole aim was to have an educational forum to hear from the candidates about their economic positions."
Instead, tempers flared in the high-stakes race between the Democratic incumbent and the Tea Party upstart three weeks before early voting starts Oct. 16.
"He punched me twice, so I punched him back twice," Kay Mehta said as she nursed a red, tearing eye and waited for police to arrive. "I was just defending myself."
No arrests were made. Police interviewed those involved for a report on the incident. The names of all of the participants were not released.
At the start of the 7 p.m. forum, the audience was asked not to applaud or to shout out as Reid answered questions in a prerecorded videotape because he is in Washington, D.C. Angle answered a moderator's questions live from the stage.
But partisan members of the audience became boisterous as the hourlong forum progressed. As Angle was giving her closing statement, a stream of Reid supporters among the 800-member audience began to leave the auditorium, which has close rows of theater-style seating.
A Reid backer, Kelly Tanaka, said one male Angle supporter refused to let her pass in front of him.
She alleged he tried to push her over the seats in front of him when she tried to pass. That is when the Reid and Angle partisans began to tussle and then exchange blows.
Tanaka accused the Angle supporter of hitting her. Mehta said she then got involved. Some bystanders said one of the women shoved the man back into his seat when he tried to get up.
The fight escalated after Angle finished speaking and blew a kiss to supporters in the audience. She left quickly to catch a flight to Reno as the scuffle disrupted the auditorium.
"I was just trying to get him off her," said Mehta, a Reid supporter. "We were just trying to get by."
The auditorium was packed mostly with conservative Republican Angle supporters who were drawn to the event sponsored by the Faith Lutheran Business Advisory Council, the Christian Businessmen's Network, Businesswomen for Christ and Media Fellowship International.
Reid backers appeared to account for up to one-fifth of the audience judging by reactions from the crowd, including scattered boos and jeers when Angle was speaking.
Some of Reid's videotaped answers attracted rude noises and open scoffing from the Angle crowd.
The loudest protests came when Reid made his closing statement and made the case, using a baseball analogy, about why voters should give him a fifth term.
"Why would you pull somebody out of the game that's done so much for the state of Nevada?" Reid asked.
His remark elicited scattered boos and scoffing. One man said derisively, "Ha, ha, ha."
In Angle's closing remarks, she said voters should choose her because she will do what she says, including voting against tax hikes as she did as a Reno assemblywoman. She said she voted against taxes and fees more than 100 times, while Reid has voted for them more than 300 times.
"They can trust me," Angle said of voters. "I kept my promises, and I will keep my promises as your U.S. senator."
A man interrupted, calling out, "You lie!" Angle ignored him.
Reid and Angle largely kept to their standard campaign talking points during the forum.
The incumbent touted his record of pushing for more renewable energy projects to create jobs in Nevada, and he defended the Democrats' stimulus spending.
Angle said the best way to create new jobs is to cut taxes and regulations on businesses to free them to hire people without fear of increasing the costs of doing business.
Reid and Angle, who are running neck and neck in most polls, will engage in one televised debate on Oct. 14, two days before early voting starts in Nevada.
The debate will be moderated by Mitch Fox, the Vegas PBS, Channel 10, talk show host who moderated Thursday night's forum.

Sharron Angle raised $14 million in 3rd quarter
www.politico.com

Former Nevada state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle (R) raised an eye-popping $14 million between July 1 and Sept. 30 for her challenge to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), a stunning number that far eclipses the cash-collection totals of other prominent candidates seeking Senate seats next month.
"Sharron Angle produced one of the most successful single quarters of fundraising in the nation's history for a U.S. Senate campaign," said Angle communications director Jarrod Agen. "This is a testament to the hatred of Harry Reid, the nation's disapproval of President Obama, and the unprecedented grassroots support for Sharron Angle."
Agen did not provide figures for how much money Angle had left in the bank at the end of September and it's likely to be well less than the $14 million she raised since she relies heavily on a costly and aggressive direct mail fundraising operation.
Reid has yet to release his third quarter fundraising totals but as of mid-summer he had collected just short of $14 million so far in 2010. For the election cycle to date, Reid has raised $18 million.
Angle's fundraising over the last three months represent an exponential gain over what she collected during her underdog primary bid in which she was heavily outspent by two Republican opponents but managed to win the race thanks to strong support from the tea party movement.
Between April 1 and June 30, which included three weeks of fundraising in the wake of her June 8 primary victory, Angle brought in $4.75 million.
Angle's total dwarfs other impressive fundraising hauls by GOP Senate candidates in the third quarter including former Florida state House Speaker Marco Rubio ($5 million raised) and former Washington state Sen. Dino Rossi ($4.5 million).
The Nevada Republican's showing is only bested in modern memory by the $14.2 million Scott Brown raised in January 2010 in advance of his Massachusetts Senate special election victory.

You know what is funny.Odonnell is painted as a kook and a loon and stupid,but Odonnell is very very well spoken and quick on her feet.Angle is a little slow in my opinion.Lucky she is running against a borderline retard and a guy who you can barely hear when he speaks he is such a sissy.

If Harry Reid wins this election against Angle, Nevada will get everything they were asking for. More years of incompetence, more unemployment and probably will watch Las Vegas go under like the Titanic.

Just look at the brown - whitman threads - the idiots on the left are clamoring to put the architect of the mess back in office.
I cant wait till their whole state collapses and I sit drinking beers laughing at them for voting those fools back in.

Angle will not bring any positive change either. Many people who will vote Angle do it just because they want to get get rid of Reid, not because they actually agree with her. Nevada must kick Reid out (he has done little for our state) and ignore Angle as well. Both are destructive for Nevada. Unfortunately most people will just vote blindly any candidate "their party" imposes instead of voting consciously and looking after their true interests.

Billy,
She has made several statements that allowed the media and Dems to run wild on her. She is lacking in ability to avoid controversial speak. Like I said, if she will keep her mouth shut people will remember what an asshat Reid is and she will pull this off.

"I am not a witch" is perhaps the most stupid campaign ad in human history.

I dont disagree with you.My problem with her is she is a slow talker.Everytime I hear a slow talker Im turned off.She is the white John Conyers.Incredibly though,Reid speaks just as slowly and cant muster enough energy to speak in a tone that is above a whisper.Everything about him screams 'Im a wimp".These trepublicans should only stick with cutting taxes,repealing health care cutting spending.Thats it,no matter what the question I beleve in cutting spending.

It is resonating for her and the money is flowing into her coffers.. She must be doing something right. She may not be the ideal candidate, but who is actually? She is better than the alternative.

Polls: Reid-Angle Senate battle deadlocked
By:
CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
(CNN) – Hours before Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican challenger Sharron Angle face off in a debate for the first time, two new polls indicate that Nevada's Senate battle remains tied.
According to a Las Vegas Review-Journal and 8NewsNow survey conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling, 47 percent of likely voters support Angle, with 45 percent backing Reid, four percent undecided, two percent supporting other candidates and two percent saying they will vote for "none of the candidates," which is allowed in Nevada. Angle's two-point advantage is within the poll's sampling error.
A Suffolk University survey released Wednesday indicates that 46 percent of likely voters in Nevada support Reid, the top Democrat in the Senate, with 43 percent backing Angle, a former state lawmaker who enjoys strong support by many Tea Party activists. The other six candidates on the ballot are in the low single digits, with four percent saying they will vote for none of the candidates, and three percent undecided. Reid's three-point advantage is within the survey's sampling error.
The Suffolk University poll indicates that Angle holds a 22-point advantage over Reid among independent and non-partisan voters.
According to the poll, Nevadans are split on the job Reid's doing, with 49 percent saying they approve of how he is handling his duties as a senator, and 47 percent saying they disapprove. But only 43 percent have a favorable opinion of the four-term senator, with 54 percent saying they see him in a negative light.
Forty-one percent of people questioned say they have a favorable opinion of Angle, with 52 percent saying they hold an unfavorable opinion of her.
Reid and Angle debate for the first time Thursday night. Early voting in Nevada begins Saturday.
According to the Mason-Dixon poll, Angle has gained among Republicans and even Democrats, but Reid narrowed the gap among non-partisan voters to eight points.
"I wouldn't call it momentum so much as what you would expect to happen as undecided voters start to drift a little bit toward the non-incumbent," Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal, regarding Angle's slight gains. "At the end of the day, if Nevada voters really want to get rid of Reid, they'll vote for just about anybody. And I've always said this race is a referendum on Reid."
The Las Vegas Review-Journal 8NewsNow poll was conducted October 11-12 by Mason-Dixon Polling, with 625 likely Nevada voters questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points.
The Suffolk University poll was conducted October 8-11, with 500 likely voters in Nevada questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

jon ralston:
Reid lost the debate to Angle
By Jon Ralston (contact)
Source: Las Vegas Sun
Friday, Oct. 15, 2010 | 2:01 a.m.
________________________ ____________________
Let’s get the easy part out of the way first:
Sharron Angle won The Big Debate.
Angle won because she looked relatively credible, appearing not to be the Wicked Witch of the West (Christine O’Donnell is the good witch of the Tea Party) and scoring many more rhetorical points. And she won because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid looked as if he could barely stay on a linear argument, abruptly switching gears and failing to effectively parry or thrust.
Whether the debate affects the outcome — I believe very few Nevadans are undecided — it also perfectly encapsulated the race: An aging senator who has mastered the inside political game but fundamentally does not seem to care about his public role (and is terrible at it) versus an ever-smiling political climber who can deliver message points but sometimes changes her message or denies a previous one even existed.
Look upon these works, ye mighty, and despair.
As I watched the debate, I felt all the years that Nevada has striven to surmount its seamy image fading away as the nation watched this sad spectacle. As Slate’s John Dickerson wryly put it on Twitter: “After watching the Nevada Senate debate I really wish that what happens in Vegas could stay in Vegas.”
I know we Nevadans get our backs up when the national media condescends. We are a proud bunch; we love our state. But as I surveyed the post-mortems in the 140-character world, where concision often yields brutal truth, you could almost sense the head-shaking as the national types opined:
NBC’s Chuck Todd: “Reid’s problem tonight is that while Angle wasn’t great, his performance made her look passable.”
Politico’s Dave Catanese: “Utterly subpar.”
Political Wire’s Taegan Goddard: “Reid didn’t knock out Angle but she had him on the ropes. Have to give the edge to Angle ...”
Political writer Taylor Marsh may have summed it up best: “Sharron Angle passed the ‘I’m not crazy test’ with flying colors. Focused too. This lady just might pull this off. Reid didn’t take her out.”
But did he take himself out, once and for all, with his dismissiveness, his sarcastic and loopy use of “my friend” and Senatese, his shifting of subjects in the middle of thoughts, beginning with his opening statements?
It is difficult to say beyond CSPAN watchers being appalled across the country — and probably sending checks to The
$14 Million Woman as they watched — if the debate had any electoral effect. But Reid, as he did with a veterinarian named John Ensign 12 years ago, seemed almost in disbelief that he was on the same stage with Angle. If it was possible, I think he would have had a Bush 41 look-at-my-watch moment.
There was much revisionist history in the debate by both candidates, but, as usual, mostly from Angle. Reid called a man he once all but called a liar (Gen. David Petraeus) and a man he did call a liar and loser (Bush 41) his friends. But he also used that collegial term to refer to Angle, as if he were speaking to some senator he despises (they do that on the floor).
But Angle, as she often does, when confronted with previous positions from abolishing the Education Department to phasing out Social Security and Medicare, just plows ahead as if her reinvention project is perfectly believable. If she says she never said it, maybe she never did — unless, as has so often happens but could not Thursday, someone plays Warren Wolf and goes to the videotape.
The most striking example was when moderator Mitch Fox asked her about calling the unemployed “spoiled.” Angle claimed Reid “mischaracterized” what she had said. What? She has apologized for making the comment.
My guess, though, is no one noticed as Reid didn’t point that out (hello, debate prep) and didn’t effectively deconstruct many of her automaton-like message points. She just kept coming and coming — Obamacare, Obamacare, Obamacare — the Tea Party’s and Nevada’s Energizer Bunny who never, ever stops running.
I still find it incredible that more has not been made of Angle’s most egregious statement this campaign — and it didn’t even come up Thursday — which was her assertion in Mesquite this month that Sharia law had been imposed in two American cities, one of which doesn’t even exist. This Muslim-baiting, noxious construction has been ignored by all but a few news outlets (kudos to CNN), and her answer is almost more astounding: She read it somewhere so she repeated it.
That is crazy, folks. But that’s not how she came across Thursday, as Reid failed to call her on that and many other topics, making it more likely he has to make an unthinkable call to her on Election Night.

Reid My Lips: Last Night Was a Disaster
The Senate majority leader should've stayed home.
________________________ ________________________ ___
Where An Illegal Housekeeper Trumps Economic Recovery: The Awful, Vacuous California Gubernatorial Debate
The TNR PROFILE: A Voyage Inside the Addled Mind of Sharron Angle
In Today’s Republican Party, The Only Choice Is Between Cynics and ZealotsWhy Harry Reid agreed to have a debate with Sharron Angle is a bit of a mystery to me. If your campaign is based on portraying your opponent as loony, then why give that opponent a chance to look reasonable? Lyndon Johnson never debated Barry Goldwater. Then again, I’m no political strategist. And neither, I’ve come to see, is Harry Reid. So let’s focus on what matters now: that a debate was held in Nevada last night between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger Sharron Angle. And its upshot was—sorry, folks—that Angle improved her chances.
I’m not suggesting that Sharron Angle, having been granted the opportunity to look reasonable, looked reasonable. On the contrary, she was very much herself—smiling maniacally in her crimson suit and hurling out bizarre fictions. But she looked reasonable enough. Lies about policy don’t really hurt you in a debate, especially when they’re voiced with conviction. What hurts you is looking evasive and squishy. Sharron Angle provided the lies. Harry Reid provided the squish.
I should mention that the moderator, Mitch Fox, did a very good job, in case that cheers anyone up. It might at least cheer Mitch Fox up. But this viewer, who has reported on Sharron Angle enough to find her alarming, was really more interested in seeing a good performance by Harry Reid.
The first question concerned illegal immigration. Why, asked Fox, had Reid neglected border security for so long? Reid started by pointing to new efforts to secure the border but soon veered into “comprehensive immigration reform,” a treacherous topic that wasn’t even raised by the moderator. “We have to do something about the people that are here that are undocumented, have them pay taxes, penalties, fines,” said Reid.
Sharron Angle’s answer was far firmer. “What we have here is an illegal alien problem,” Angle said, “and the solution is simple: secure the borders, enforce the laws. I think every state should have a sheriff like Joe Arpaio, and we should be supporting Arizona instead of suing Arizona, like Senator Reid and President Obama have. When they sued Arizona, they also allowed eleven foreign countries to join in that suit. Senator Reid, you’ve allowed eleven foreign countries to dictate our immigration law.”
To be sure, almost none of this was true. Harry Reid has nothing to do with foreign nations getting involved in the lawsuit against Arizona. And eleven foreign nations certainly aren’t dictating U.S. immigration law. (What actually happened was that they were permitted by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to file what is called an amicus brief.) But Angle’s answer was confident and clear, successfully depicting Reid as a liberal caricature.
Reid had a remarkable chance to score points when Fox asked Angle if she favored requiring health insurance companies to cover certain procedures. “What we have is a choice between the free market and Americanism,” Angle said. “The free market will weed out those companies that don’t offer as many choices and don’t offer a cost-effective system.” In short, Angle was saying that insurance companies should be subject to almost zero regulation.
Offered such a clear expression of Angle’s zealotry, Reid almost refrained from blowing the opportunity. “Insurance companies don’t do things out of the goodness of their hearts,” Reid began. “They do it out of a profit motive, and they have almost destroyed our economy.”
But things quickly got a great deal less coherent:
We need them to be forced to do mammograms. That’s why you see breast cancer awareness month. You see the baseball players wearing pink shoes, and you the football players having pink, uh, uh, helmets. It’s because people dread breast cancer, and you don’t get breast cancer, you can—correct breast cancer—you detect it if you do mammograms. Colonoscopies, if you do colonoscopies, colon cancer does not come because you snip off the—things they find when they go up and—no more, and we need to have insurance companies do this…
Forgive me if I choose to snip off Reid’s answer there.
Fox asked the candidates whether they favored having the federal government fund abortions under the new health care law. Yes or no?
ANGLE: No.
REID: Well, we passed—maintained—Hyde, Hyde Amendment.
MODERATOR: That would be a yes or no?
REID: [pause] Uh, under the law, eh, that exists today, the Hyde amendment, which has been the law in this country for 30 years, is still there.
Don’t ask me why Reid had to answer in this manner. Just don’t.
Angle was soon deep into the next solar system, accusing Harry Reid of plundering social security, telling seniors that Obamacare will rob Medicare of half a trillion dollars, alleging that under Obamacare no one was permitted to choose his health insurance plan. But Reid, transported on Angle’s magical fun ship, seemed only to get limper.
Asked about the foreclosure crisis, Angle blamed Reid for it, slammed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and called for an audit of the Federal Reserve. But first, she said, “We have to investigate what caused the problem in the first place.”
Reid’s response:
We do have a commission. We have a Las Vegan, Byron Georgiou, Heather Murren, on that to find out what really happened with the collapse, so we’re—we’re on top of that. Federal Reserve, I called for a Federal Reserve audit in 1985—eighty-seven, I’m sorry—so I agree with my opponent on that. There should be a Federal Reserve audit. We haven’t gotten it yet, it’s uh—but we’ve made some progress in that regard.
Excellent, with the greatest financial collapse of the past seven decades, we’ve got Byron and Heather looking into it. Check that one off. And maybe, with all the progress on that Fed audit since 1987, we’ll get there by 2030.
I could go on with my laments about Reid’s performance—about how he fumbled an answer on Social Security, about how he picked Antonin Scalia and Byron “Whizzer” White as particular Supreme Court favorites, about how he couldn’t find his closing statement and wound up shuffling through his papers and then reading something that didn’t really work anyway. But we’re all busy people. No, let’s not dwell on the past, the 12-long-hours-ago past.
Anyway, the biggest problem wasn’t that Harry Reid is a bad debater, though that he clearly is. The trouble was that Reid faced an opponent of far stronger beliefs and far fewer scruples. In an appraisal of the rambling style of George Bush the Elder, Michael Kinsley once speculated on the relationship between convictions and manner of speaking. “A man anchored in true beliefs of some sort not only would be more articulate in expressing those beliefs,” wrote Kinsley. “He would make a better liar, too.” This was why “Ronald Reagan, a man of a few, clear, rock-hard beliefs, was a brilliant liar.” Harry Reid basically offered the truth, but with little conviction or coherence. Sharron Angle offered conviction and coherence, but with very little truth. You might prefer the former type of salesperson, but which one makes the sale?

Angle's Lead Grows Over Reid
Pundit Press ^ | 10/18/2010 | Thomas Ferdousi
Republican Sharron Angle has opened a larger lead in the Nevada Senate race, according to the most recent Rasmussen poll. According to this, Angle's lead is almost larger than the margin of error, dramatically increasing the chances that she will beat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on November 2nd. This is the first Rasmussen poll taken since last week's debate and appears to be showing momentum for Angle.
Reid again appears to be having difficulty building traction among Nevada voter and is not well liked by independents. Furthermore, Angle actually crosses the 50% mark, a near death-knell for Reid. Reid won by a bare smidgen in the 1998 race, almost losing in a good Democratic year.

Election 2010: Nevada Senate
Nevada Senate: Angle (R), Reid (D) Still Fight A Close One
Monday, October 18, 2010
SOURCE - RASMUSSEN
________________________ ________________________ _____
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger Sharron Angle remain locked in a tight race for the U.S. Senate in Nevada in the first survey following last Thursday night’s debate.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Angle with 50% to Reid’s 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer another candidate in the race, and one percent (1%) are undecided. (To see question wording, click here.)
The race remains a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.
A week ago, Angle held an insignificant 49% to 48% lead in a contest that has been marked for months by its closeness. In seven of eight surveys prior to this one since July, Reid and Angle have been three points apart or less. Both have hit the 50% mark one time.

Early vote a bad omen for Reid

________________________ ________________________ ________
In Nevada's prime swing county, Republicans are significantly outpacing Democrats in early-voting turnout, according to official statistics — a potential sign of difficulty for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as he attempts to rally his base for his tough contest with Republican Sharron Angle.
Some 47 percent of early voters in Reno's bellwether Washoe County so far have been Republicans, while 40 percent have been Democrats, according to the Washoe County Registrar. Nearly 11,000 people had voted in Washoe over the first three days of early voting, which began Saturday.
Voter registration in the county is evenly split, 39 percent to 39 percent. The disproportionate turnout is a concrete indication of the Republican enthusiasm that is expected to portend a nationwide GOP wave.
In Nevada's large, urban Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, nearly 47,000 votes were cast in the first three days. The voters were 46 percent Democrats, 39 percent Republicans, according to the Clark County Election Department. But while Democrats make up 46 percent of the county's registered voters, Republicans constitute just 33 percent — another sign Republicans are voting out of proportion to their numbers.
In the 3rd Congressional District, where Democratic Rep. Dina Titus faces a challenge from Republican Joe Heck, the parties are nearly tied in early turnout despite Democrats' registration advantage. Early voters were 43 percent Democrats, 41 percent Republicans, while registration was 42 percent Democrats and 36 percent Republicans.
Reid's campaign sees its extensive get-out-the-vote infrastructure as crucial to the senator's prospects in a contest polls have shown to be deadlocked. Angle hopes the pro-GOP national climate and voters’ dislike for Reid will sweep her to the Senate.
The sparsely populated counties outside Clark and Washoe, which have yet to report complete early-voting results, are strongly Republican.
Statewide, Democrats have an edge of about 60,000 registered voters more than Republicans, but that represents a decline from 2008, when their advantage was more than 100,000.

Obama puts Reid in the spotlight
By: Carol E. Lee and Molly Ball
October 22, 2010 10:46 PM EDT
LAS VEGAS — Of all the races in the country this year, none is as important to President Barack Obama as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s reelection campaign.
The race carries unrivaled symbolism for Obama, who would emerge even more politically wounded than anticipated if Republicans defeat his top Democrat in the Senate.
The stakes were in full display Friday night at an outdoor rally in Las Vegas, when Obama — whose name has been chanted over the past three days by crowds at events from Seattle to Los Angeles — made a rare move and led the crowd in a chant of “Har-ry!”
“I appreciate everybody saying Obama,” the president said as thousands of supporters screamed “O-bam-a!”
“But I want everybody to say Harry,” Obama yelled, leading them on moments after he stood on the stage with Reid, a former boxer, holding his hand in the air as though he had won a fight.
Reid is locked in a tight race against Republican Sharron Angle, a tea party favorite who has continued to be a force despite several high-profile campaign missteps. Obama made his fourth trip to Nevada Friday for a week-before-the-election rally and fundraiser to help Reid squeak out a victory despite low popularity in his home state and an adverse political climate.
The president vouched for Reid, whose opponent is running ads suggesting he got rich off of his position in the Senate, as an advocate for the middle class.
“Harry has never forgotten what it’s like to grow up in Searchlight, Nev. He knows what it’s like to be poor. He knows what it’s like to work hard. He knows what it’s like to hit some bumps in the road,” Obama said. “Neither Harry and I were born with a silver spoon in our mouths. Our families were working folk.”
For Obama, Reid’s campaign has all the elements that have made this election cycle a tumultuous one for Democrats.
His challenger has tea party backing, and few places in the nation have been as hard hit by the economic crisis than Nevada, where the unemployment rate is more than14 percent and the rate of foreclosures is the highest in the nation.
Reid’s race raises the stakes for Obama because of unique circumstances where all it could take for him to win would be large Democratic turnout — the president’s main 2010 role — and because it’s been cast as referendum on the White House’s big-ticket victories, all of which Reid helped muscle through: health care reform, financial regulatory reform, the economic stimulus package.
Reid is counting on minor-party candidates, including a Tea Party ballot line, and Nevada’s unique “none of the above” voting option to siphon votes from Angle, who also has low popularity in Nevada. Political strategists, including those working on Reid’s campaign, believe the dynamic would allow Reid to win with substantially less than 50 percent of the vote. Democrats have a registration edge of 60,000 more voters than Republicans, a 5-point advantage that's decreased from more than 100,000 two years ago.
To get there, Reid is counting on Democratic turnout, powered by his statewide campaign organization, which he largely built in 2008 and thought would pay off for him in 2010. Indeed, the Obama organizational juggernaut was kept in place as Reid's reelection geared up.
In that sense, Reid’s election offers a test of whether Obama’s 2008 grass-roots organization will remain a force in 2012.
Obama, who arrived in Las Vegas after campaign stops in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, tried to inspire Nevada Democrats not to wait for Nov. 2 to cast their ballots. He reminded the crowd at a middle school in Las Vegas that early voting is already underway.
“You have to vote everybody,” he said. He even directed them to a nearby polling center and told them what time to be there. “Don’t wait,” he said. “Don’t wait.”
Angle is hoping she can capitalize on Obama’s visit as well. Her campaign is employing the same strategy as Reid’s: using the president to help drive turnout.
Obama won Nevada by 12 percentage points in 2008 after the state had twice swung for George W. Bush. But just 39 percent of Nevada voters held a favorable view of Obama in an August poll. And new jobs figures released Friday showed that Nevada still continues to be the state with the highest unemployment rate: 14.4 percent.
To coincide with the president’s visit, Angle’s campaign released a video juxtaposing Obama’s campaign promises with Nevada’s dire statistics.
“Harry Reid is the closest thing this election to Barack Obama’s name being on the ballot,” Angle spokesman Jarrod Agen said.
Knocking off the Senate majority leader of the same party as a sitting president has strong political significance. Majority leaders are often election-year targets for the opposing party. The most recent case was in 2004, when Republicans defeated Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, an Obama mentor.
The White House has poured many of its resources into Reid’s reelection bid. Obama’s visit follows Vice President Joe Biden’s trip to Reno, Nev., on Wednesday, and before Nov. 2, Reid will get a campaign stop from first lady Michelle Obama, who has already done an event with him in the state.
But White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was reluctant to characterize Reid’s race as the most important one on the ballot.
“Senator Reid is somebody who has obviously done a lot to ensure our success in the United States Senate [and] was a supporter, somebody who urged the president to run very early,” Gibbs told reporters when asked about the significance of the election. “And it’s a very important race.”
Gibbs, speaking aboard Air Force One Thursday during Obama’s campaign swing, also took a few shots at Angle, who had previously advocated the elimination of Social Security and was recently caught on video telling a group of Hispanic high school students that they looked “Asian.”
“Look at the number of controversial comments that get made,” he said, describing her as “somebody who seems to be well out of the mainstream of where voters are in the state of Nevada.”
Reid, who reminded voters that Obama visited Nevada 22 times during the 2008 campaign, used some of his time at the podium Friday night to attack Angle’s views, calling them “extreme” and “dangerous.”
Facing a state in dire economic conditions, he said he’s got “important issues” on his mind: “jobs, jobs and more jobs.”
And he asked voters to let him keep his.

Meet Sharron
Sharron Angle was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon on July 26, 1949. Her father worked in the family business, a potato farm, until he enlisted in the Navy and fought in WWII. After WWII, her father was called up a second time for the Korean conflict. Sharron, her parents and her three younger brothers moved to Reno, Nevada after her father's discharge where they owned and operated a small motel for over 20 years.
Sharron Angle graduated from Wooster High School in Reno. Four years later, she earned her BA in Fine Arts from the University of Nevada Reno.
While a senior at University of Nevada Reno, Sharron married Ted Angle. Sharron and Ted have two children and ten grandchildren.
Upon graduation Sharron and her husband left Reno and spent the next 25 years living the rural Nevada towns of Ely, Winnemucca and Tonopah. During that time she worked as a substitute teacher in public schools; taught art courses at Western Nevada Community College (now Great Basin Community College) in Winnemucca for five years; and co-founded, administrated, and taught grades K-12 in a one-room Christian school of 24 students for two years. While in Tonopah, Sharron also tutored at Nye County Juvenile Justice for six years and operated the Tonopah Life Center (family-oriented fitness gym.)
Sharron was first elected in 1992 to the Nye County School Board of Trustees. The family moved back to Reno in 1995 and in 1998 she was elected to the Nevada State Assembly where she faithfully served until 2006 fighting for smaller government, lower taxes, and a better Nevada for future generations. She is proud of her past chairwomanship of We the People Nevada PAC that sponsored the Property Tax Restraint Initiative.
A true protector of the Nevada Constitution, Sharron has fought and won judicial battles to protect Nevadan's constitutional rights. In 2003 while serving as the Minority Whip in the Nevada State Assembly, Sharron challenged the Governor's proposed massive $800 million tax hike. Supported by Nevada's constitutional requirement that all tax increases be approved by a two-thirds super majority, battle lines were drawn between the Republicans in the Assembly and the Governor. Sharron and fourteen other courageous Republicans consistently voted against the tax measure through the end of the regular session of the legislature and on through two special sessions. The Governor then sued the legislature in Angle v Guinn to force a decision by the Nevada Supreme Court. The Court over-ruled the two-thirds requirement which meant the taxes were to be imposed through a simple majority rather than by two-thirds vote. Using her own funds, Sharron hired Dr. John Eastman of the Claremont Institute to defend the Nevada's Constitution against this injury. Angle and Eastman took this case to Federal District Court in Nevada, which ended up referring the case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, then finally to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The attention from Angle v Guinn resulted in the members of the Nevada Supreme Court which made that ruling either retired or were replaced through election defeat. Subsequently the new Court reversed the decision in 2007 reinstating the two-thirds requirement in the Constitution. In recognition of her fight to protect the Constitution, Sharron received the prestigious Claremont Institute Ronald Reagan Freedom Medallion for Courageous Client in 2004.
Though this was a personally costly case for Sharron to defend, this is precisely what she believes the founding fathers meant when they said we must "pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" to protect our freedom and liberty.
In addition to her proud service in the Nevada legislature, Sharron has been an active member of the Republican Party for many years. She currently serves on the Nevada State Central Committee and has been the chairman of the Washoe County GOP precinct organization effort.
Sharron Angle is also a proud member of the Gun Owners of America, National Right to Life Committee, Concerned Women for America, Nevada Republican Assembly, Washoe County Republican Party, and Fellowship Community Church.

Voters Suspicious Of Fraud At Ballot Box
Election Registrar Says Election Fraud-Free
POSTED: 9:49 pm PDT October 25, 2010
UPDATED: 7:35 am PDT October 26, 2010
facebookdel.icio.usbuzzd iggreddit›› Email›› PrintLAS VEGAS -- Some voters in Boulder City said they are concerned about fraud at the electronic ballot box.
Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.
Ferrara said she wasn't alone in her voting experience. She said her husband and several others voting at the same time all had the same thing happen.
"Something's not right," Ferrara said. "One person that's a fluke. Two, that's strange. But several within a five minute period of time -- that's wrong."
Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said there is no voter fraud, although the issues do come up because the screens are sensitive. For that reason, a person may not want to have their fingers linger too long on the screen after they choose their candidate.
"Especially in a community with elderly citizens (they have) difficulty in (casting their) ballot," Lomax said. "Team leaders said there were complaints (and the) race filled in."
Lomax said voters need to have faith in the system.
"This election, I think, more than ever," he said. "The two sides are very fractured and each side is suspicious and we're caught in the middle."

Two straight polls: Angle 49, Reid 45 in Nevada
By: CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
(CNN) - With four days to go until the midterm elections, a second straight poll in the most high profile Senate battle in the country indicates Republican challenger Sharron Angle holds a four point advantage over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
But Angle's four point margin in a new Mason-Dixon survey for the Las Vegas Review-Journal/8 News Now is within the poll's sampling error, making it a neck and neck race.
According to poll, 45 percent of likely voters in Nevada are backing Angle, who enjoys strong support from many in the Tea Party movement, with 45 percent backing Reid, the top Democrat in the Senate, who's bidding for a fifth term in the chamber.
Three percent of people questioned in the survey say they are undecided, with one percent saying they are backing other candidates on the ballot and two percent saying they will vote for none of the candidates, which is a ballot option in Nevada.
The Mason-Dixon poll's Friday release comes two days after a CNN/Time/Opinion Research survey indicated that Angle held the same 49 to 45 percent advantage over Reid. Two percent questioned in the CNN/Time poll supported Scott Ashjian, who is running as a Tea Party candidate, but who is shunned by many in the grassroots conservative movement, and three percent saying they are voting for none of the candidates listed. Angle's margin in the CNN poll is within that survey's sampling error.
Other surveys released in the past two weeks also indicate a small single digit margin for Angle.
According to the Mason-Dixon survey, Angle leads 85 to 8 percent among Republicans and 55 to 38 percent among independent voters, with Reid ahead 84 to 11 percent among Democrats.
"Reid just can't get much above 45 percent, and she's carrying the independents," Mason-Dixon pollster Brad Coker tells the Review-Journal. "I haven't seen a poll showing him up since the debate. That might have been when things started to lock in."
Reid and Angle faced off October 14 in their only debate.
According to the CNN/Time poll, Reid leads 96 to 3 percent among Democrats, with Angle leading 82 to 10 percent among Republicans and 53 to 38 percent among independent voters.
"Reid is doing best in Clark County, home not just to Las Vegas but to his hometown of Searchlight," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "He manages a virtual tie with Angle in her home territory in Washoe County, where Reno is located. But Reid is getting clobbered in the rest of the state, losing the rural areas of Nevada by more than three-to-one."
In a sign that enthusiasm for voting appears to be on the Republican side, when expanded from those likely to vote to the larger sample of all registered voters, Reid holds a 43 to 39 percent advantage over Angle, with five percent backing Ashjian and 12 percent saying they'll vote for none of the candidates.
President Barack Obama teamed up with Reid in Nevada last week. According to the poll, 39 percent of likely voters in Nevada approve of the job Obama's doing as president, with 59 percent saying they disapprove. Among all adults in the state, 44 percent approve of the job Obama's doing, with 49 percent disapproving of how he's handling his duties.
The Mason-Dixon poll indicates that 39 percent have a favorable opinion of Reid, with 56 percent saying they hold an unfavorable opinion. Likely voters are split on Angle, with 43 percent saying they have a favorable opinion of the former state lawmaker, with 45 percent saying they see her in an unfavorable light.
The survey's sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points.
The Mason-Dixon poll was conducted October 25-27, with 625 likely voters in Nevada questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points.
The CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted October 20-26, with 1,504 Nevada adults, including 1,286 registered voters and 773 likely voters questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for likely voters.
