Lady in Red

Last night in Las Vegas, Republican Challenger, Sharron Angle, who is heavily supported by the TEA Party, debated Nevada Senator and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in their only debate of the campaign season. Watching it, I was quite taken aback at how the majority leader seemed ill-prepared, lost and defeated in his performance. Yes, I understand that he needs a jolt of caffeine or a dosage of Prozac to liven up his speech patterns, but his imperfections seemed magnified. Angle, on many occasions, displayed the stark differences between what she plans on doing as Nevada Senator versus what Harry Reid has done during his "leadership." Furthermore, she did not back down, called him out a few times, whether getting rich off the taxpayers (and when you examine Reid's history, this is a valid claim) or reminding voters Reid said the War is Lost in reference to Iraq.

It looks as if this race will go down to the wire, but with the sad state of the Nevada economy and Harry Reid's inability to use his leadership clout to address those issues, her debate performance, reception she has been receiving from constituents and even many in the press, as well as the news that she has $14 million on hand, I believe Sharron Angle will defeat Harry Reid in November.
