Free Republic

*snip* Compare this with the House campaign body, the NRCC. After getting clobbered over the NY-23 race and Dede Scozzafava, the NRCC took a hands off approach and let local voters choose their candidates. Not the NRSC. It doubled up around the country igniting a civil war with the grassroots — a civil war that would have never happened but their getting into Florida and doubling down. The NRSC’s argument amounts to telling the world that voters exercising their right to pick their candidates are stupid and Jim DeMint is stupid for siding with the voters. One final thought —...

Sharron Angle's political team has accused Harry Reid of "stealing" the Nevada senatorial election, according to a blog on Babble.com. Even a popular trend on Google during the day Nov. 3 spoke of how popular Angle's argument was becoming. On election night, Angle's team filed a complaint with the Justice Department saying casino owners were told to make sure their union members got out to vote on election night, as reported by Yahoo! News. Free Republic even posted pre-election polling data versus actual returns and made the revelation that Reid's son, Rory, is the county election commissioner for Las Vegas...

Las Vegas (AP) - Republicans said for months that if the Nevada Senate race was a referendum on Harry Reid, the unpopular Majority Leader would lose. Reid didn't let that happen. He adeptly painted opponent Sharron Angle as an extremist immediately after she won her primary -- and proceeded to make the contest as much about her awkward and unconventional statements as Reid's own troubles. Then he deployed his secret weapon: a powerful turnout machine that brought Democratic and Hispanic voters out to the polls in droves. Reid's relentless TV ad assault against Angle and his powerful get-out-the-vote effort were...

For those of you who live in Nevada,what has been the reaction to the Reid Scandal? Over half of those who voted must be outraged. Any news on what Angle is going to do? Anyone out there with inside information on upcoming legal action against Reid,his son and their "Political Buddies" who maintain the voting machines, PLEASE KEEP US POSTED! We Can't Have Another 2008 ACORN Election In Nevada Again!!

His son loses by 12 points and he wins? The other Repub wins in NV but Angle loses? The media is saying nothing. The power goes out during the election?

Look, this was a good night in the House, but I can’t look away at all the missed opportunities in the Senate. First off, we should be thanking our lucky stars John McCain won his primary in AZ. He sucks and is a RINO, but how would you like reading this morning that the ‘rats picked off Hayworth along with Angle going down and Christine O’Donnell losing by 17? This is a state that installed Big Sis as governor – you’re telling me they couldn’t have picked this up? I’m taking odds on anyone who thinks Buck is going to...

Oooh! That’s going to leave a mark! Well, it’s official: the tea party movement has left its mark on the face of the American Body Politic. Both democrats and republicans have felt the effects of the TPM, and the slap may smart for quite some time. A slap across an otherwise stuporous face is precisely what the republicans needed, while democrats will attempt to call it anything other than what it was – a sizeable rejection to their liberal socialist agenda. As I stayed up late on election night watching results pour in from across the nation, many thoughts crossed...

Here is video of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this morning saying his race against Republican Sharron Angle “was not close.” Reid was asked if he should consider himself and fellow Democrats “chastened” by the American people in light of the GOP winning at least six more Senate seats, and at least 60 more House seats. Reid said he didn’t think we should be using “words like chastened.” Instead, we need to be working together, he said. Reid wound up with a 50%-45% victory over Sharron Angle. Going into the Election, Reid had trailed Angle in the last eight polls...

NEW YORK — November 2 is not here yet, but polling problems have begun. From possibly malfunctioning ballot gear to potential fraud, the 2010 mid-term vote is marred even before Election Day has dawned. •Like jurors who deliberate before a trial concludes, some Nevadans who have tried voting early for Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle instead have seen Democrat Harry Reid’s name appear on their electronic voting machines. Some voters have complained about this apparent glitch, but how many others unwittingly have miscast their ballots? Intriguingly, these machines are maintained in Las Vegas by members of the Service Employees International...

I put some effort into compiling this data and hope it may help prove, with hard data, that the Nevada "election" was not a one-legal-citizen, one-vote affair. I believe the Angle campaign has a case based on a comparison of the accuracy of polling of other races with that of their own, where the result was well outside the MOE of an aggregate of polls. Off one pull fine. Off seven by a wide margin, not kosher. The first data points (EXHIBIT A) are from a sampling of races and the poll aggregates leading up to election day. The second...

Angle campaign private suite: "Reid never got above 46 percent of the vote and tonight he gets 51 percent? Ashjian and "none of the above" got less than 3 percent combined. Something fishy is going on." UPDATE 3 - I just met with two campaign people who said that Angle and her generals and her lawyers are huddling. They have not yet decided to concede. Campaign says that the gap between Reid and Angle is now down to 24,000 from 36,000 previously. "People's spirits up. Hope is not squashed," says one insider with the campaign.

These results are way out of all the predicted models. In the last two weeks 95% of the polls had Angle winning .5 to 3.5%. Reid is up by 5. Looks like we could have ballot stuffin, machine riggin, vote fraud by the unions and the corrupt Reid machine. We need to look closely at Nevada and call Reid's "win" into question. We may be able to reverse the results and/or delegitamize him so much that we can at least force him out of as "Pseudo-Majority" Leader and force a fight with in the Rat party

Election Day votes are now being posted for Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Lyon, Mineral and Washoe Counties.

LUNTZ CALLS IT FOR REID: GOP polling guru Frank Luntz is predicting Republicans will win seven Senate seats and 50 House spots, based on exit polls he had seen. On a conference call with associates from K Street, Luntz also said he thinks Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will win reelection.

A perfect coda to the Nevada Senate race: In a radio interview this morning, Sharron Angle blamed the media for her campaign's decision to shut out reporters, slamming the press as "unprofessional" and adding that she thinks candidates should teach the media a "lesson" whenever they have the "opportunity." Angle also described that recent episode where a reporter tried to ask her questions in an airport as "an ordeal." Angle's comments came in a conversation with conservative talk show Heidi Harris, which you can listen to right here. Asked about the airport episode, in which local reporter Nathan Baca tried...

O’Donnell likes nights on the town, Palin is a clotheshorse, Angle is “crazy,” Whitman is a “whore”—conservative women are being attacked from all sides, but voters will reward the victims at the polls, says Mark McKinnon. Nuts and sluts, bitches and whores: That’s the gauntlet conservative women must run to compete for the “honor” of political office today. While every campaign season is deemed more vicious than those that came before, the attacks this time around have reached a new low. Rather than debate ideas and policies, weak-minded opponents of strong-willed women resort to sexualized attacks—a cover to compensate for...

LAS VEGAS - In the Nevada Senate debate here last week, Republican Sharron Angle had an opportunity to expound on her views on the initial decision to invade Iraq after her Democratic opponent, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, responded to a question about his infamous 2007 comment that the Iraq war was "lost." But instead of seizing the opportunity to clarify her views, Angle essentially punted. "Well, I don't have the access to special security briefings like the senator does, and I didn't get to vote for either one of those wars like the senator did," she said before transitioning...

In the 1980s, a Pantene hair product commercial featuring a gorgeous woman with the name Rula Lenska and a slight, very sultry accent opened with the line "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."

As the final lap approaches, both sides have shifted their focus to what strategists call the ground game. For Mr. Reid, the Culinary Union, which represents most of the card dealers, bellhops and other casino workers on the Las Vegas strip, are working to make sure their members take time away from work to vote for Mr. Reid. The National Education Association is helping get Latino voters to the polls. And the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has made three rounds of calls to government workers asking them to vote Democratic. Mr. Reid is also relying on...

LAS VEGAS—Nevada Democrats appear to have nearly kept pace with a surge of Republican enthusiasm in early voting, confirming a tight race between Republican Sharron Angle and Majority Leader Harry Reid. It's clear Republican voters are fired up to deny Reid a fifth term, but Democrats are turning out in significant numbers, too. Preliminary figures show Republicans turned out 37 percent of early voters in traditionally Democratic Clark County, several points above the party's registration.
