Reid Pulls Ahead of Angle: Sign of GOP-Tea Party Troubles for November?
Posted by Joshua Holland on @ 4:07 pm


The Repubs have the wind at their backs. With their newfound love of the filibuster and a lot of help from the Blue Dogs, they still have an effective majority in Congress. Meanwhile, the Dems officially control the government and are on the hook for the enduring nature of this brutal recession in the minds of most Americans. The GOP can sit back and block any effort to alleviate “Main Street’s” economic pain, and they won’t pay a price. And that’s precisely what they’ve done since January of 2009.

They’ve got a well-oiled message machine, churning out a bucket of ridiculous pseudo-scandals every day, and an electorate with plenty of “low-information” voters who will be suckered into believing just about anything — 55 percent of likely voters think Obama’s a socialist.

They’re also getting a huge assist from the White House and much of the Democratic leadership (especially in the Senate), who have not only decided, despite all evidence to the contrary, that echoing the corporate Right’s economically insane messaging by blathering on about the importance of reducing the deficit is a better move heading into the mid-terms than trying to do more to create jobs and keep people in their homes (or at least that it’s better not to try to push more relief for ordinary Americans than to attempt it and fail).

Now consider Harry Reid’s situation in Nevada. Reid’s not only the Senate Majority Leader — whom, along with Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama the GOP has cast as a new Axis of Evil, and thrown every fiber of their muscle into demonizing –he’s also an insider’s insider during an election when insiders are (supposedly) reviled and to top it all off he’s as uncharismatic a public figure as one will likely encounter (yes, I too have heard that he’s dazzling in person, but in this broadcast age who really cares?). ...........(more)

If that's the calibre of the average voter in Nevada. Sharon Angle? Really?

C'mon, Nevadans, you're almost there......
