With just two days until election day, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is clearly desperate to stop Republican challenger Sharron Angle. Anyone looking at his campaign website can tell that it is dripping with fear and panic. Take, for example, an article entitled "The fight for Nevada." You may think it is logical that Reid would at least try to promote the things he has said that he has done for Nevada. Nope. The entire article is a vicious attack piece against Angle, full of lies, mis-characterizations, and desperation. The very first sentence, in fact, ends with this statement...

Republican Sharron Angle famously told Sen. Harry Reid to "man up" during a Nevada debate this month -- the implication being that Reid is a wuss, or not man enough to do his job. You'll get no argument from me, but I did note Reid didn't fire back at his opponent. That's because feminists have taught him well. When faced with whether or not to make a disparaging remark about the female gender, most men know to keep their mouths shut. In politics today, women can do and say whatever they want about the opposite sex, but men can't do...

My military friends have a favorite saying: "If you're not catching flak, you're not over the target." This campaign season, conservative women in politics have caught more flak than WWII Lancaster bombers over Berlin. Despite daily assaults from the Democratic machine, liberal media and Hollywood, the ladies of the right have maintained their dignity, grace and wit. Voters will remember in November. When "comedian" and "The View" co-host Joy Behar lambasted GOP Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle this week as a "b-tch" who would be "going to hell" for using images of illegal-alien gang members in a campaign ad, Angle...

Complete title: With Angle Up 4, NYT on Harry Reid: ‘Some Republicans Fear Losing Such a Powerful Ally in Washington’ In a classic example of liberal media bias, the front page of the print edition of today’s New York Times carries an above-the-fold story about the Nevada U.S. Senate race--headlined, “In Nevada, It’s Hold Nose and Cast Vote.” At one point, the story says: “Some Republicans fear losing such a powerfully ally in Washington—no matter that his name is Reid—at a time when Nevada is in precarious economic shape.”But the story does not quote a single Republican from Nevada or elsewhere, or site a single...

Las Vegas, Nevada (CNN) -- Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle on Friday night declared "there is going to be shock and awe in Washington" after the election. During a rare appearance open to the media, Angle also mocked one of President Obama's phrases, promising "we're going to have a teachable moment." The woman who could unseat the Senate's top Democrat vowed that conservatives will demand that Congress use its lame duck session to repeal health care reform, which she called "Obamacare," and permanently extend the Bush tax cuts

The latest 8 News NOW-Las Vegas Review-Journal poll shows several tight races leading up to election day. The polling of 625 registered Nevada voters was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research from October 25 through October 27.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said he had no doubts about supporting Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell and other Republicans in key primary races this year. DeMint, the leader of the Senate Conservatives Fund, a political action committee that pushed through conservative, Tea Party candidates through GOP primaries earlier this year, said he was proud of his efforts. "I'm glad I did this," DeMint said Thursday evening on CNBC. "I came into the Senate with 55 Republicans, and I'm afraid that not enough of them believed in free-market capitalism and limited government."

NMAWorldEdition — October 27, 2010 — http://www.nma.tv/ The contest is close for Nevada's senate seat, a race that pits Majority Leader Harry Reid against Tea Party challenger Sharron Angle. Many voters blame Reid for Nevada's unemployment and housing problems. Angle, meanwhile, is campaigning on an anti-immigration platform. Some of her more colorful gaffes include describing a room full of Hispanic college students as Asian. She also described herself as the first Asian lawmaker in Nevada's state legislature. The anti-abortion candidate also said rape and incest victims should make lemonade out of a lemon situation. Despite her seeming missteps, Angle has...

"Yet given his own deep political ambitions and drive, Mr. Schumer is also very carefully laying the groundwork to move on a moment’s notice to try to secure the top Democratic job if Mr. Reid is defeated on Tuesday."

The National Football League’s political action committee—Gridiron PAC—has weighed in on the hotly contested U.S. Senate election in Nevada that pits conservative Republican challenger Sharron Angle against Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid. The PAC has given $10,000 to Reid—the maximum it can give in a single election cycle—and no money to Angle, according to Federal Election Commission data compiled by OpenSecrets.org. The NFL’s PAC also contributed to other incumbent Democratic senators facing viable challengers this year, giving $5,000 to Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas; $5,000 to Russ Feingold of Wisconsin; $5,000 to Barbara Boxer of California; $5,000 to Michael Bennet of...

Why a vote for Sharron Angle could steer Senate to the leftConservatives’ effort to oust Reid might result in more liberal action on weighty Nevada issues By Karoun Demirjian Thursday, Oct. 28, 2010 | 2:01 a.m. While Republican Sharron Angle has called Harry Reid a liberal voice for special interests, it is Angle who may become the best friend of liberals in Washington should she defeat the majority leader. As the Senate’s top-ranking Democrat, Reid serves a dual role in Washington: representative of Nevada and chief driver of the Senate agenda. Take Reid away and there will be a new...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Arizona Sen. John McCain is coming to Nevada to stump for Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle. McCain spokesman Brian Rogers confirmed the 2008 GOP presidential nominee will attended a rally for the tea party favorite at a Las Vegas casino on Friday.

Nevada Republican Sharron Angle's new TV ad is racist, the head of Senate Democrats' campaign efforts charged. Sen. Robert Menendez (N.J.), the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), lambasted Angle's new ad, "The Wave," which targets Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on illegal immigration.

Republican Sharron Angle has surged to a four point lead in the Nevada Senate race, leading Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) 49 percent to 45 percent, according to new polling. The CNN/Time poll, released Wednesday, is particularly striking because it is the first public, live caller poll conducted in the Senate race in about two weeks. In previous polls, Reid and Angle had been in a statistical dead heat.

After Joy Behar’s “bitch” session on The Spew yesterday, Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle struck back…with flowers and a cheery note. Via Elizabeth Crum at NRO Battle ’10: No one can accuse Team Angle of not having a healthy sense of humor. In response to Joy Behar’s vicious remarks on The View, the Angle campaign sent a lovely flower arrangement with a note enclosed. “Joy, Raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Sharron Angle”

Political operatives in Nevada have begun making accusations of voter fraud and intimidation in the state's hotly contested Senate race, setting up the potential for a dramatic showdown over the results. An attorney for the Nevada Republican Party on Tuesday alerted the Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller to a handful of "discrepancies" in early voting, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, as well as complaints from Republican poll watchers who say they are having trouble examining voting records they say should be readily available. State and county voting officials said there was no evidence of any misconduct, according to the...

I know I am supposed to use the original title but I wanted to simply highlight an admission by Joy Behar of the TV show 'The View.' Joy Behar during a rant on The View about Sharron Angle sending her (Joy Behar) flowers as a thank you for increasing her fund raising, Behar admits that illegal immigrants do vote. Angle Sends Flowers, Behar Fumes Yesterday, The View’s Joy Behar said “She’s [Sharron Angle] going to hell, this bitch!” Behar also compared Angle’s latest ad to a “Hitler Youth” commercial. So today, Angle sent Behar flowers, with a note thanking Behar...

Yesterday, The View’s Joy Behar said “She’s [Sharron Angle] going to hell, this bitch!” Behar also compared Angle’s latest ad to a “Hitler Youth” commercial. So today, Angle sent Behar flowers, with a note thanking Behar for helping her raise $150,000 online yesterday. So what was Behar’s gracious response? “I’d like to point out that those flowers were picked by illegal immigrants,” she tartly said. “And they’re not voting for you, bitch.” (One would hope they’re not voting at all, actually.) And when Barbara Walters told Behar she shouldn’t be saying that anyone was going to be in Hell, Behar...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's press secretary for Hispanic media is no longer with the Nevada Democrat's office following allegations that she accepted compensation for marrying a Lebanese man who was seeking U.S. residency. Reid spokesman Jim Manley confirmed that Diana Tejada is no longer with the office but would not clarify whether she was fired, saying he could not go into the details of a personnel matter. Fox News reported late Monday evening that Tejada misrepresented the nature of her 2003 marriage to Bassam Mahmoud Tarhini to federal officials. But she then indicated in 2008 that she had married...
