Big Ed: Sharron Angel is probably going to beat Reed

[bigdarryl]

Sorry Ed I disagree with you on that one.

[tallahasseedem]

1. I really think he's...

returning to his Republican roots.

[Vincardog]

3. I bee leave you are correct,

Ed your ROOTS are showing

[RamboLiberal]

12. Good Gawd your both wrong

Ed is firmly on our side. He's only being realistic. Reed could lose. If he can't beat Angle it's a sad damn day in this country. Dems have got to learn how to fight harder & get their message out.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. He's a crepe hanger.

All those liberals on MSNBC are. They were throughout 2008 and they are today.

I still remember Rachel Maddow asking everyone to talk her down because she was convinced McCain would beat Obama.

It's not an indictment on their ideology - but it is an indictment on their thought.

I am sick and tired of doomsday scenarios.

2. Angle is just too crazy, I really can't see her getting elected.

But, I'm surprised she's made it as far as she has. Reid could have done a better job, he's been pretty weak.

[WI_DEM]

4. Well she is still tied with him in most polls--despite everything. If Dems don't turnout anything

can happen.

[quiller4]

19. Actually she is tied in one poll and in the other 4 recent polls

she is 2-7 points behind with movement going against her.

[tridim]

5. He should join HuffPo or Politico

He'll feel right at home.

[bigdarryl]

6. one thing he should be doing is interviews like on Ed's show or African American radio

this guy never does interviews who the fuck is running his campaign anyway

[FBaggins]

7. Who is big Ed?

"Probably" strikes me as a bit much. Reid's in real trouble, but it isn't over yet.

[bigdarryl]

9. who is Big Ed are you SERIOUS!!!!!! asking that question

[jberryhill]

18. Not everyone watches TV or has cable or is off work in late afternoon /nt

[lib2DaBone]

8. Ed was just making a point. When you deal with the Teabaggers or Evangelicals...

.. they do not deal in facts or issues. They deal in emotions ..sound bites and talking points.

None of the people at Beck's Rally last weekend could verbalize why they were there. The only thing they could say was, "We are taking back America".

Taking back America from what? From whom? What would you change or do different? (crickets)

Ed was making the point that people of the Sharon Angle or Sarah Palin mindset, will vote simply as Faux News tells them to.. no thought or reason attached.

[madmom]

10. Maybe he is saying this to try to inspire the dems to get off their duff?

[EC]

11. I think he is just trying

to motivate Nevada's Dems to get out there and vote...

[Hawkowl]

13. Ed's probably right

Raw emotion will probably push Angle over Reid. Throw in the typical rethuglican vote stealing and she's just about a lock.

Two real issues feeding the out of control panic of the electorate:

1) Unemployment in NV broke records again in August at an official 14.3%;

2) "Nevada kept its No. 1 national ranking for foreclosure filings for the 43rd consecutive month...Nevada had one filing for every 82 households"

Desperate, panic stricken people will grasp at any straw and vote for any perceived change, no matter how terrible or how slight.

[SweetieD]

14. I live in Nevada and could see this happening.

Yes Angle is crazy but people really dislike Reid. Some people would vote for a head of cabbage as long as it was in opposition of Reid.

[Raine1967]

15. Ed has also advocated for people to sit out of the elections.

He certainly isn't helping here, that is for damn sure.

[truebrit71]

16. Me too...If that happens then we are ALL in a world of shit...she is certifiably insane...

...not just batshit crazy, but clinically around the frickin' bend say g'night Gracie out of her frickin' tree nutsy cuckoo...

If that persona can beat Harry Reid then the game is up and we'd better start heading for the hills..
