Reid v. Angle or Giannoulias v. Kirk?

Kentucky should be another option.

Washington has been surprisingly nasty. The last time I saw a positive ad for the senate race was in early September.

Nevada, but Kentucky, Illinois, and West Virginia all come close.

It seems like all of the close ones are races to the bottom at this point with the possible exception of PA which actually seems fairly clean compared to some of these other ones.

I voted Nevada.

Both raced are sewer holes, but Nevada "wins" based on being a better funded, higher spending, higher profile sewer hole.

You saw a positive ad? - Did you save a copy?  Can I see it?

The last positive ads I can remember were Murray's ones about Boeing. Other than that, it's been nothing but negative here. I've yet to see a positive ad for a race other than Senate, and with all the initiatives, that's a lot of negative ads.

Nevada. While both in Illinois aren't very good, neither are horrible, IMO. In Nevada, it's clearer the lesser of two evils, which is Angle in my opinion. This race would have been much easier if just about any other Republican had been nominated.

Reid would have lost by 10 points to a McHappy meal.

Definitely Nevada. Illinois is a case of two uninspiring candidates being uninspiring together.  Brain tumors are probably spontaneously forming throughout Nevada as a result of that campaign.

In a cross matchup, Kirk would crush Reid and same with Giannablahblah over Angle.

     Likewise, Angle would have also lost by 10 points to the same Happy Meal. The combination of two really bad candidates has led to the Nevada race's current uneviable state.

Alaska's getting pretty bad as well.

I don't think there's really a contest for nastiest this year though. Nevada easily takes the cake.
