Politics, U.S.: Sharron Angle knows how to get the Hispanic vote

  • I don’t know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me.
  • Sharron Angle • To a room of Hispanic teenagers, at the Hispanic Student Union. Well-played! She also mysteriously claimed that she’s been called “the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly.” Anyone want to try and make sense of that? source

Politics: Why can’t Harry Reid shake Sharron Angle in Nevada, anyway?

  • 42% Sharron Angle’s current polling in Nevada
  • 41% Harry Reid’s polling in the state; it’s kind of a statistical dead heat
  • 17% of voters hold Reid’s political future in the balance source
  • » Oh, and it gets worse for Reid: See, the Las Vegas Review-Journal just gave Angle a big endorsement over Reid, throwing some harsh words at the Senate Majority Leader in the process: “As he has climbed higher and higher in the Democratic hierarchy, he has veered further and further to the left, becoming politically disconnected from Nevada and its residents.” This is bad news for Reid, but will it be enough to hurt Harry’s ability to win?
