Palin's endorsement of Angle could help Reid
Palin is in Nevada endorsing Angle today.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is joining the Tea Party Express in Nevada again to launch a cross-country tour intended to capitalize on government discontent and unify conservatives determined to throw out Sen. Harry Reid and his Democratic allies in Congress.
...
Angle can't attend Monday because the national committee based in California has made independent expenditures on her behalf.

However, Palin's endorsement is the kiss of death in a general:
According to new Pew Research survey released today (10/6), there are a ton of negatives for any candidate running for election in 2010, but there is no bigger negative, except for supporting the bank bailouts, for a candidate than an endorsement from Sarah Palin. 42% of those surveyed said that a Palin endorsement would make them not vote for a candidate.
...
An endorsement from Palin definitely helps a candidate in the GOP primary, but is a huge liability in the general election.

1. I really hope so because Reid could use all the help he can get to pull this one off.

2. True anybody dumb enough to be persuaded by Sarah
is already voting for Angle so hopefully this can knock a few indies off the fence

4. I guess it comes down to how Nevadans feel about Palin,
since the Pew poll was national.

I'm hoping Palin's appearance will scare the hell out of Democrats and independents, and get them to the polls.
