Seems that Angle is now the 'nut' to be vilified this week.

I think Reid is going down.

Nice if it takes some of the dumping off Rand, though.

Personally, I think that with every additional contrived 'media frenzy' over an outsider, it becomes less and less believable.

Getting the left excited and distracted by someone else sounds like a good plan.

The thread title is not exactly true. This is an opinion piece by Brent Budowsky for The Hill, not The Hill itself. Brent Budowsky has worked for two Democratic representatives before. Why wouldn't he bash a Republican?

The problem from Angle is that she has about $150,000. Reid has about $10,000,000....

Distracting the entire establishment (R&D) is a good thing IMO. That was part of my reasoning in deciding to encourage all who want to run, not just those who might "have a chance." ISTM if we were only focusing on one or two races, it would be easier for the establishment to do the same and use their unfair advantages against us. By running hundreds of candidates, at all levels, we are spreading them thin and exposing them everywhere.

GO GRASSROOTS!

"Sharon Angle is a Rand Paul-type candidate," Reid's campaign manager Brandon Hall tells me. "In fact, I would say she's more extreme than Rand Paul."
