Brain -> Did Harry Reid get a softball opponent? (6/10/2010 9:40:51 PM)
There was a change in the atmosphere on the Senate floor yesterday, Milbank observes. Senators who had been vying to replace Reid as majority leader joined a procession of lawmakers approaching him to "hear his wisdom, gain his favor or plead for help," Milbank writes. "Majority Leader Lazarus was back." Did Harry Reid get a softball opponent? It's a measure of this strange political year that he now has a solid chance to win a fifth term. The Tea Party movement may have just saved Harry Reid's bacon, writes Dana Milbank. The Senate majority leader was widely seen as a dead man walking not so long ago, but now Nevada's Republican Party has chosen Sharron Angle—whose policies include bringing more nuclear waste to the state, dismantling Medicare, and abolishing the Energy Department—to oppose him, Milbank writes in the Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/09/AR2010060905298.html After the elections, the talk of the Capitol was . . .

The republican party didn't choose Ms. Angle. Voters chose her in an election.

I don't have a dog in this fight, Firm. But really, the same can be said for Rush-era conservatives, for whom everything not right wing is "liberal."

Brain, we could run YOU against Harry Reid and he'd lose! It really doesn't matter who runs against him with the "numbers" he has. Helen Thomas could run against him and he'd lose.

You apparently didn't read the link: Within minutes of the primary win by the tea-party-backed Angle, a gleeful Nevada Democratic Party sent out a news release calling Reid's opponent "Sharron 'Wacky' Angle." Following that was a list of some of the stranger things Angle has said and done over the years: supporting the view that abortion causes breast cancer, proposing a program created by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard to give massages and saunas to prisoners, and making the odd statement that drug sales "supported the attack" on 9/11 "and the attack of terror continues against our children in the form of club drugs, particularly Ecstasy."

Let's not forget she once stated she opposed alcohol being legal. Think some of the "interests" in Las Vegas might oppose her for that?
