Reno, NV - In an unprecedented outpouring of support from Americans in Nevada and across the nation, Sharron Angle’s grassroots U.S. Senate campaign posted a remarkable $2.29 million for the June 30, 2010 report.
“I am absolutely overwhelmed that in an economy where people are hurting, they are supporting our campaign with their money and their time. That’s how much people want to retire Harry Reid,” said Angle. “I thank the people of Nevada and all of those across this great country for their financial and personal contributions. Together with this broad coalition, we are going to take back this Senate seat for the people of Nevada and remove Harry Reid for the rest of the country.”
Angle had unprecedented success with grassroots fundraising, including $1,323,828.81 via web and social media alone. Over one-third of her donations have come completely unsolicited from Americans who want to retire Harry Reid.
“Never in my entire career as a fundraiser have I seen this type of momentum for a candidate in such a short period of time,” said Angle for Senate Finance Director Amanda Kornegay. “Harry Reid brags that he’s going to spend $25 million special-interest dollars to save his hide in the Senate. Sharron likes to say that she just needs a million Americans to give her $25--and it looks like she’s well on her way.”
Once the primary race heated up in late May 2010, the Angle campaign saw an extraordinary spike in fundraising. Angle’s campaign received $54,546.11 per day through June 30, 2010, with an average gift equaling just $49. More than 46,000 people in Nevada and across America offered their financial support during the second quarter reporting period.

Polls have her trailing Reid by 4 points as he buys the entire NV ad market.
I'm gonna stick with Rasmussen, as he was the most accurate pollster during the 2008 elections.

Yeah Dirty Hairy was sitting on a $16+ million war chest!
This is what happens when a state is infected by Californians smart enough to leave their state but too dumb to know why they had to.
She’s going to need 5 times that much to counteract the incumbent advantage.
Why would Mason Dixon be the only poll firm to have the same outlier poll figures ?
Lets see. the same LV Review paid for this poll and set the poll criteria !
Don't fall for PAID FOR PUSH POLLING by a Obama state Media Organization !
I just donated to Sharron and signed up for a monthly donation. Everyone should do this. Even a small monthly contribution will make a huge difference. Sharron needs to be able to run down Harry Reid’s war chest and that is going to take money.
I don’t care about polls. Sharron needs money. I don’t think Nevada will return Harry Reid to the Senate. What needs to be done is a hard hitting ad reminding people why they don’t like Harry Reid. Also Sharron needs to run vision ads telling people what she represents and what she wants to accomplish as Senator. People need to see Sharron not as Harry Reid portrays her. She also couldn’t hurt getting some star power help from Palin and others.
Just sent another donation to Angle’s campaign. BHO has a lot riding on helping Harry keep his seat. It would be a great blow to his dwindling prestige to kick the Majority Leader out on his keister.
Our first black president - Clinton, second - Obama, third - Clinton again. Just as Billy dreamed.
And Obama, because he is so weak, cannot lead without these guys, and will be certain to keep Reid around. But he is so dumb, he does not see how they and everyone is using him. Obama is just the keyhole through which they all pass to go on to do as they planned. He means nothing to them except as a "patsy."
Harry has a lot of money. Will it save him only if we let it. What needs to be done is third parties need to run ads reminding the citizens of NV exactly what Harry Reid has done since Obama was elected. It should be difficult to string together his best quotes. Angle also needs to run positive ads. People need to be reminded of why she is a good alternative to Harry Reid.
If ACORN is not present she will win.
Is it buying up the NV ad market that is putting lamearse Reid in the lead or the many sheeple idiots living in NV that still support idiot Reid despite his shoving virtually everything down their collective throats in the last 16-18 months? His having a lead speaks volumes about how whcked the people in NV are...same goes for those idiots in Florida that are putting Crist on top....=.=
I live in Nevada. I'm not "whcked" and neither are my friends and family members. In fact, there are a lot more of us who want to see Harry Reid ousted than those wanting to see him stay.
If you MUST use derogotory terms to describe a people, please make sure your information is based on fact, and not just an assumption. Thanks.
I just moved here (to Reno) from WA. I’m not whacked either.
