Or... Heller takes on Ensign, giving Angle a free ride to the House of Representatives. Not necessarily. Remember the new seat will likely consist of heavily Republican counties in southern Nevada and the Clark exurbs. Here's a likely map:
So the northern district is very Washoe County-based, which Angle couldn't even win over Reid. If that's what we get, it's probably fine for Heller or any normal Republican, but not Angle. Especially since Obama would've won it in 2008 and stands a great shot in 2012 even if he does slightly worse in Nevada.
