Ew.

[??????????]

I will now accept my accolades.

[DrScholl]

The None of These option will play a factor here and it wasn't tested in this poll. No one is going to get 50% or over in this race and whoever wins will do so because of None of These rather than their own strength.

Bye Mr. Reid, won't miss you.

     True, though I am guessing NOTA would draw relatively equally from both Angle & Reid. Both of them are fairly repellent in their own ways.

Bye Mr. Reid, won't miss you.

It's still quite close. Reid could still win, though it's now more likely that he will lose. But the idea of Senator Sharron Angle makes me throw up.

Why? She'll have literally no voice.

[albaleman]

The public's opinion of the Senate is already low enough.

She may not have much of a voice in the Senate but she'll go on all the Sunday talk shows and make all sorts of headlines.

All the more for entertainment, IMO. Nevada's already elected Ensign, who's pretty far off the deep end of the right as it is, so it won't be much in the way of news for them. It'll be better for Democrats, too - then you can have someone who's not utterly useless as your Senate leader.

And as a plus, Angle's at least not O'Donnell.

I was really starting to think about a month ago that Reid was starting to pull away, but it looks like the opposite is happening. It's somewhat disappointing, though I'd probably rather have Angle over Reid. She'll be toast in 2016 though. At least Lowden would have had a better chance at reelection. Then again, who knows?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'm not sure if I care about this race anymore. I thought we would see Reid pull away by now, but if he isn't over the 50% mark, he won't win on election day. Perhaps the tea party didn't screw us in this one.

Well, really, even if Angle wins the Tea Party screwed you, because the GOP have to spend a ton of money they wouldn't have had to with a better candidate.

I wouldn't be so sure she'd get as much media exposure as you'd think.

Nevada is now red on the map.

Yay!

True enough. Tarkanian would have won this race without much trouble..

[SPC]

So long and good riddance!

[Whacker77]

I would be glad to see Harry Reid lose, but, even as a conservative, I'm not sure I can stomach Angle.  Are there any large enclaves of Native Americans that might pull Reid over the line as they did for Johnson against Thune in 2002?

I don't think there are as many in Nevada as in South Dakota. There are probably enough Hispanics and Democrats in Las Vegas who are turned off by Angle enough to keep the race fairly close until election day though.

Well, it's one of a series of pOlls that show Angle ahead (a change from small, constant Reid leads) and this 4% gap is the largest we've seen since, like, forever.

[Keystone Phil]

this 4% gap is the largest we've seen since, like, forever.

Apparently since June.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Reid still has a slight lead on Intrade.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Still not enough to write Reid off. See 1998. If only the guy was half as good as a Majority Leader as he was a local political operative.
