Angle to make another bid for Reid’s Senate seat

Source: Las Vegas Sun

Reno conservative Sharron Angle, who lost a high-profile bid to oust Democratic Sen. Harry Reid in 2010, filed paperwork Friday to make an encore run for his soon-to-be-vacant U.S. Senate seat.

The Tea Party darling said she registered in Carson City after months of testing the water and hinting at a possible bid. Her move adds another primary opponent for the Republican frontrunner, three-term Rep. Joe Heck, and could throw a wrench in Republicans' hopes to claim the seat over Reid's endorsed candidate, former Democratic Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto.

Angle tweeted her announcement Friday afternoon just after 4 p.m., writing that “2nd Amendment remedies will be my solution to EVERYTHING."

"It was the clamor of the people," Angle told The Associated Press on Friday about why she decided to run. "People would walk up to me in the grocery store. People would say, 'I sure hope you run.' People all over the U.S."

After what the Tea Billies have done to our State,can not for see this Twit or any other Tea Billie making it this year. After the Bundy Stupids and all of these Tea Billies trying to cash in with face time with a Bundy,it is just going to work.

Nevada population does a seven year turnover, and in that lies the real story. Roughly 700k new residents since the 2012 time frame. As far as native Nevadan's ,very small percentage of the total population.

Mr. Obama has activated his old Campaign team and is going to hit the road in a all out effort to retake the Senate,and capture most of the lost House Seats lost in 2014. This is historic,never before has a President in his last year of office gone full Campaign mode.

Had a hunch Obama would go pay back time on the Rethugs for their broken promises. Mr. Obama and Mr.Biden operate via your promise and a hand shake you take to the Bank. Have read many a OpEd by retired Senators and Congresspersons criticizing their seated Rethug friends as to their lack of professionalism and understanding of their positions. Major items is,the lack of caring for who they represent.

Appears we will see a Trump third party and that will pretty much make the modern Republican Party the Wig Party that disappeared.

assessment of Wasserman,and looking at Obama's loyalty,appears this is one of the reasons,although I'am sure the Trump nightmare is paramount,Mr. Obama is going to let Wasserman save face and he will stumping in key areas for any and all Dems. Watch for the thirteen state strategy.

have pretty much settled on their choice for the major office/offices in the spring, perhaps late spring. I don't remember the actual wording from that study. Only the rather surprising half-year-ahead timing.

Maybe not so surprising when you think of it. What kind of idiots would have no idea whether they were going to vote for Sanders or Trump, or Clinton or Cruz, in October, much less November 5? Critically important voters, but politically speaking, fools and idiots nonetheless.

Of course, conservatives have a little problem this spring...

People are edgy as get out,and in that lies the story to be told. Trump is toast,and Cruz is a loser on the National stage. This puppy is our's to lose and wither it is Bernie or Clinton as our Candidate,the Democrats have to get out the vote. Guessing we are seeing a third Party from the Rethugs and that will be Romney Ryan redux of 2012. Watch for Rethugs go after Hillary in the May June time frame.

be no end to the willingness of some voters, though, to elect bad leaders wearing their label. The freedom they claim as a main principle is largely wasted on people who won't think for themselves. We'll see.

Your posts are interesting, thanks. I OD'd on all this a bit so missed that Obama is becoming heavily involved. Very good!

In the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, Obama had an overall approval rating of 51 percent, but his approval was 87 percent among Democrats, 67 percent among voters under 30 and 75 percent among Hispanics. He regularly polls at 90 percent among African Americans.


Obama is a man of great stature among the half and more of the nation that is going to pull us out of this mess. I think we need to recognize that more often.

She's the worst possible candidate Nevada can field against Harry Reid, an almost guaranteed loss, and if she somehow gets in there is no way she will be able to do her job effectively.

The only candidate better would be a zombie wrapped in a Confederate flag.
