Reply #5: I don't know whether it is a "terrible mistake" or simply what it is ...

but the Angle campaign and the Tea Baggers will most certainly spin it as Reid being "afraid."

I am not a Nevadan and I don't live there, but I did visit family there a few weeks back. According to those who have been following the campaign quite closely, the lines are pretty well drawn. The Las Vegas metro area is pro-Reid for the most part - the rest of the state anti-Reid for the most part.

It's not that they like Angle, they are just anti-Reid. Their logic stops there however, so let us hope that some who still have a few strands of logic left will realize what a nutjob she is in time. I really don't believe that a debate would make a difference, based on what I saw and heard. All Harry would have to do in the debate would be to repeat a complete sentence and he would be accused of "bullying." So he's probably damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

The good news is that most Nevada voters live in Las Vegas. But this one could be a real nail-biter.
