Palin-Angle 2012. TWO quitters, NO waiting.


After court ruling, Angle drops House bid
By Carrie Dann

At least for the meantime, Sharron Angle won't be continuing her fight to reach Capitol Hill after all.

Angle, who was defeated by embattled Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada's 2010 Senate race, is abandoning her run in a special election in the state's second congressional district.

Her decision comes after a court decision granting the state parties the power to choose candidates in the race to replace Rep. Dean Heller, who was appointed to the Senate seat made vacant by the resignation of former Sen. John Ensign.

"I do not have any desire to participate in a process described by others as a "ballot royale" or a situation where the party central committees choose their nominees because it makes a mockery of the most important constitutional element in exercising freedom," she said in a statement Wednesday.

2. I was thinking more in terms of Palin-Bachman.
Now, that would be worth watching. The media would die for that ticket.

4. Angle voted for special election while in state legislature
yet crying it's a sham. Election rules are going to state supreme court yet she has dropped out before ruling.. but day after gop loss (she was going to run as independent) in NY. The timing can't be that coincidental...my thinking is gop got to her and promised something down the road. It's a total shock to political bloggers in NV as Angle was adament she would run.
