  • Sharron Angle Mulls Run for House Seat in 2012

    Politics Daily ^ | November 22, 2010 | Tom Kavanaugh
    Sharron Angle's wounds may still be fresh after losing to Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race earlier this month, but she's already looking ahead. She told a reporter Saturday she might run for a U.S. House seat in 2012 if the incumbent, Dean Heller, challenges Sen. John Ensign. Or she might try to unseat Ensign herself if Heller chooses not to. "I have a lot of options next cycle," the tea party-backed candidate told the Lahontan Valley News. "Lots of options." Angle told the paper she's in no hurry to make a decision. And Heller has not indicated his...

  • Two straight polls: Angle 49, Reid 45 in Nevada

    CNN's Political Ticker ^ | October 29, 2010 | Paul Steinhauser, CNN Deputy Political Director
    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...

    Andrew Breitbart's Big Government ^ | October 26, 2010 | Publius
    UPDATE: Americans for Limited Government have jumped on this issue and are pushing the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Nevada State Attorney General to get to the bottom of it, and now: It is positively outrageous that in Clark County, Nevada, the SEIU Local 1107, which supports Harry Reid, controls the ballot boxes by contract through their representation of the voting machine technicians. It is not surprising that Senator Harry Reid’s name was automatically checked off on the ballot when individuals went to vote. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Nevada State Attorney General, and the U.S Marshalls need to act...
  • Seltzer poll: 33 percent of all likely voters support Tea Party

    WALB-TV ^ | October 15, 2010
    With the midterm elections just 18 days away, a new poll shows the Tea Party is gaining strength. The surprising new Seltzer poll found that 33 percent of all likely voters plan to support Republicans backed by the anti-Washington Tea Party movement. The stunning news came just months after the movement, which demands lower taxes and smaller government, emerged. "I understand some of the excitement has faded since election night or inauguration day," President Obama said while campaigning in Delaware on Friday. "Don't let them convince you we have not made progress. We have made progress." But the Obama agenda...

    The State ^ | August 17, 2010
    The Daily Caller reports that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin plans on endorsing Nevada Republican Sharron Angle. Palin’s brother, Chuck Heath, told The Daily Caller that his sister plans to “actively help” Angle and “do whatever she can” to help take out Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate’s majority leader, in Nevada this fall. “She’s got GUTS and is putting up with more crap than she deserves because the libs don’t know what to do with her and the support she has,” Palin said in a email provided to TheDC by Heath. The move will likely add to Ms. Angle’s...
  • Sharron Angle floated possibility of armed insurrection (Believes in 2nd Amendment - the horrors!)

    The Washington Post's Plum Line ^ | June 15, 2010 | Greg Sargent
    Here's another one that could be tough for Sharron Angle to explain away: In an interview in January, Angle appeared to float the possibility of armed insurrection if "this Congress keeps going the way it is." I'm not kidding. In an interview she gave to a right-wing talk show host, Angle approvingly quoted Thomas Jefferson saying it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years -- and said that if Congress keeps it up, people may find themselves resorting to "Second Amendment remedies." What's more, the talk show host she spoke to tells me he doesn't have...

    It is almost as if Obama wants Harry to lose in this Fall's election. Once again, this President "of only some of the people" has specifically demonized another group of people like the entire City of Las Vegas.

    The decision by Beau Biden not to run for Senate brings to mind an historical parallel. With no Biden in the race, with no Ted Kaufman serving another term, the Democratic candidate is likely to be New Castle County executive Chris Coons. Back in 1972, no Democrat wanted to run against a popular Republican, so a young New Castle County Councilman with no money entered the race. His name: Joe Biden. Historical parallels might be all that Democrats have to hang onto. Rep. Mike Castle (R) is sufficiently popular statewide and has a fairly unimpeachable record of service in Washington....

    Yesterday I celebrated the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday by enjoying a 10-hour workday, something that millions of other Americans likely did as well. While I was there I heard several references on my radio about the late Reverend King and his dream of a color-blind society. Also, I thought about all the people who had the day off from work, such as the members of Congress, including Senate Leader Harry Reid. It is rather sad that over 45 years have passed since King’s death and yet people with views like those of Reid still exist. I thought about one...

    Memo to the Republicans – let Harry Reid remain in office and let him keep his post as Senate Leader. It may seem hypocritical and wrong to allow him to do so now, but it will reap a big payoff in November. Reid is highly likely to lose his re-election bid anyway so the Republicans should just keep him out there in the public as a symbol of all that is wrong with the Democrats in Washington and elsewhere. The Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of big spending, big government, racism, misogynism and the party that gives...

    Senator Reed's racist remarks are not out of place in the democrat party. Lincoln freed the slaves and was killed by a democrat and southern sympathizer. The Klan was formed in Al Gore's state by a good ol' boy and democrat named Nathan Bedford Forrest who slaughtered a company of unarmed black Union troops attempting to surrender. Reed is just one more racist in the democrat party. There's NO WAY democrats will Let THOSE PEOPLE ever get the right to vote!

    Congressional Quarterly ^ | December 7, 2009
    Freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) is tied with Republican challenger Joe Heck in a new poll of 3rd district voters conducted by Mason Dixon Polling for the Las Vegas Review-Journal Nov. 30 through Dec. 2. The poll's 300-person sample was small, however, while it had a 6 percent margin of error. Titus and Heck, a Henderson, Nev. physician who switched from the governor's race to the congressional field in October, each received 40 percent of the vote in the hypothetical match-up, while 20 percent of the electorate remained undecided. While Heck received the support of 80 percent of GOP voters,...

    Former Republican state Sen. Joe Heck is “seriously considering” dropping out of the governor’s race to challenge Democratic Rep. Dina Titus for Southern Nevada’s congressional seat in Washington. According to conservative activist Chuch Muth’s news service, Heck attended a meeting in Las Vegas on Monday called by fellow Republican John Guedry, who announced last week he was dropping out of the race, and was encouraged to run. Heck is expected to decide whether he’s in by the end of the week, the report said.

    Banker and southern Nevada resident John Guedry has announced he intends to run as a Republican against Democratic first-term Rep. Dina Titus. Guedry submitted paperwork Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission saying he intends to enter the race for next year's election. Guedry has been an executive at City National Bank for two years. He says the bank has fared well during the recession, providing over $3.5 billion in residential mortgages with only one home foreclosure. He says the bank refused to engage in risky investments. Guedry says he was approached to run for office by Nevadans fed up with...

    The Nevada Appeal ^ | July 17, 2009 | Chuck Muth
    The most impressive and most promising Republican who spoke Monday night was John Guedry. He all but announced he was running against Rep. Dina Titus (D) and, even though a newcomer on the campaign stage, was savvy enough to downplay the biggest knock against him in his brief remarks; noting that while he's a banker, he's a community banker, not a Wall Street banker. GOP gubernatorial candidates Joe Heck and Mike Montandon also spoke. Montandon seems to have a slight edge right now among the party faithful, but Heck, a doctor by trade, rolled out a new campaign slogan: “I'm...

    The Las Vegas Sun ^ | May 28, 2009 | David McGrath Schwartz
    State Sen. Mark Amodei has during the final weeks of the legislative session made floor speeches against loosening ethics rules, railed against unequal treatment of state functions in the Legislature’s budget and, unlike a majority of his fellow Republican senators, voted against the $781 million tax increase. Amodei’s actions have drawn attention and prompted a persistent question: What is he running for? A possible answer: The Carson City Republican, who is prevented by term limits from seeking reelection, is considering a run in 2010 against U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Amodei said in a recent interview that Rep. Dean...
