I agree with you in general, but wanted to add that a recent, frightening, GOP end-goal was the formation of a “permanent Republican majority.”
In other words, a de facto one-party state.
There are Arizonans on this board and I bet some will vote for Angle. Many say they vote for the best “man” when they vote. Angle makes that defense impossible. They will be voting on right wing/tea bagger ideology. They will have an idiot in charge for 6 years.

Dude, this is the second time in this thread you’ve made this mistake. Arizona and Nevada are not synonyms, they’re actually two separate places.
Just remember that Nevada’s the one that’s got that funny angle in its border.
Sorry. But they look the same from here.
Must be hard to see from over there in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
He’s not in Wisconsin!

As opposed to the Land of 10,000,000 Flakes, which is right next to Nevada.
What’s your excuse for popping into a thread that is clearly labelled as being about the Nevada Senate race, and bashing Arizonans for voting for the Nevadan candidate? Neither state, by the way, will be electing an idiot in charge for the next six years. Both states have four year terms for governor, and that also is not the focus of the thread.
On that latter note, Republican Nevadans had the opportunity to reelect an idiot in charge, and declined to do so, instead opting for a Hispanic moderate*.
*I think he’s considered one. Rory “No Relation to Harry” Reid of course portrays him as far right, but Sandoval is not a Tea Partier.
Aren’t you in Michigan?
Because I am too. And yet I can still tell the difference between Nevada and Arizona.
Actually, they’re variant names for the same place. You know, like England and Britain, or Holland and the Netherlands, or China and Japan.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
That was the Jews, remember?! “Torah, Torah, Torah!”
Politico has it here. The LVRJ ran a story today as well, but I won’t even post a link to it because I don’t want to find myself or the Dope being sued over it. If you want to read that one, you’ll have to google for it yourself.
Anyway, the apparent sticking point was that Reid wanted to set the date for 21 October, to be sure that the Senate would have adjourned. The problem is that early voting in Nevada starts 16 October, and Angle wanted the debate held before voting begins (of course).
So now the debate is set for 14 October, that being one week after the Senate is scheduled to adjourn.
Voters will get 1 hour at 6pm to watch the two answer questions in what seems to be a pretty standard format with Mitch Fox of PBS moderating. C-SPAN may cover it as well.
I say, good. Finally. A chance to see and hear both of them unedited is long overdue for Nevadans, and if the rest of the country wants to watch our politics this year too, well, I think it will at least be entertaining, just maybe in an old Chinese curse kind of way.
This reminds me of when I moved to Phoenix and my best friend wrote a song about it with the line, “why’d your punk ass have to move to Nevada?”
Making the news today is a story about a radio interview that Sharron Angle did with Bill Manders, a conservative radio talk show host in Reno, NV.
Harry Reid released this statement:
Reid also apparently has 2 new video ads which ask Mrs. Angle to please identify who she thinks are the domestic enemies currently sitting in Congress. Her campaign has responded with “Sharron Angle never said we have domestic enemies in Congress”.
The debate is gonna be a doozy if anyone ever asks her to explain what she means by anything she ever says. I don’t think she can do it and be coherent at the same time.
Technically speaking, she didn’t say it. She just agreed with the guy who did.
Right, but technically speaking, no one has said she said it. That’s why the denials from Ms. Angle’s camp are so funny.
There was a poll in the paper today (the LVRJ) where they asked people if they would rather someone else was nominated than Reid and Angle.
Reid had 18% of likely Reid voters say they wished a different Democrat was nominated.
Angle had 66% of likely Angle voters say they wished a different Republican was nominated.
If Angle can’t even convince the flock who are already commited to voting for her that it’s a good idea to do so, there’s no way in hell she’s going to convince people who aren’t already idealogically sympatico to check the box next to her name. And I can’t help but think that many principled Republicans will see that this lady would be a disastrous puppet in the Senate and thus Reid will gain votes that Angle loses. To me, that says this will be a victory for Reid in November.
