In May of 2009, Sharron Angle formed an exploratory Committee for the State of Nevada Seat held by Harry Reid. - yesterday Ms. Angle won a three way contest to become the Republican candidate in Nevada. Engle, who is an anti-tax conservative, will face incumbent Harry Reid, the current Senate Majority Speaker in November. Reid has noted that he is pleased it is Angle he must face which appears to be false bravado, given Reid's popularity is close to House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi’s. Apparently, Reid plans to capitalize on Ms. Angles “extreme views” on taxes, adhering to the U.S. Constitution, and eliminating bloated, dysfunctional and irrelevant bureaucracies within the Federal Government. Reid plans to go heavy on the attack ads, according to the Las Vegas Sun: “On Tuesday, Reid’s advisers telegraphed their coming campaign, saying Angle’s “dangerous ideas are wrong for Nevada.” Once her victory was apparent, the Nevada Democratic Party issued a news release: “Sharron’s ‘Wacky’ Angles: Dangerous Ideas Nevada Can’t Afford.”

It’s all about the “Tea Party” – Angle who has embraced the Tea Party philosophy of less government, fewer taxes, self-reliance and a healthy respect of the Constitution from the beginning, does have some interesting ideas about how to cut waste and spending. That said, how Ms. Angle’s views may seem right at home, when compared to Reid’s mono-rail plans, or the fact that Nevada is faced with some of the nation’s highest foreclosures as well as unemployment. For this reason alone, Angle is seen by Reid as an easy target (and the media and pundits are following suit). Angle has the endorsement of the Club for Growth, which is a fiscal conservative organization, and the Tea Party has a strong base in Nevada. Counting the Tea Party candidate out before the race begins is a bit naive on anyone’s part. Reid, at this point, is going the road of Tom Daschle – one can, this being a Nevada race, bet the House on that one – Reid’s proposed Negative advertising should work well for Angle. (See how well that worked for Coakley in Massachusetts.) As the economy shows no signs of improving in the near future (See the possibility of a double-dip recession, which will herald double digit inflation (already taking place when one looks at fuel and food – See late 1970’s and Jimmy Carter) , the Nevada battle should be interesting to say the least.

Over in Arkansas, Blanche Lincoln won the Democrat primary, proving that the extreme views of organized labor and Move-on.org are somewhat marginalized outside of the White House. (Pay attention here, Senator Reid). It was a race where either candidate stands to lose in November against Republican, John Boozman . The latest polling has had Boozman leading either Lincoln or the rejected Halter by double digits. Lincoln was supported by former Arkansas native son, President Bill Clinton, while Halter enjoyed the endorsement of the SEIU and again, Move-on.org, otherwise known as the George Soros Foundation. The deep rift in the Democrat Party (Socialists – i.e. Progressives – versus – mainstream viewpoint Democrats) is showing itself across the nation. See the recent special election in PA-12th, where the Democrat ran on Republican Issues, distancing himself as much as possible from the White House).

In California both Meg Witman and Carly Fiorina won their respective primaries. Fiorina will face embattled incumbent Barbara Boxer - as headlined in the Chronicle articles Fiorina Poised to Make History.

It is good to be a Conservative Woman, (including Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln, who just happens to be on the wrong side of the aisle in the upcoming election.)

Note to former Goldwater Girl, Hillary Clinton, the road to 2012 is paved in history.
