CNN/TIME POLL--NV SENATE: ANGLE: 42% REID: 41%

[book_worm]

(I know that this is pretty much a toss-up but this is the second poll this week showing Angle actually ahead even by a small margin. Why isn't Reid able to break thru against this NUT!?)

1. 42 and 41. Seems like no one in Nevada is interested in voting. nt

Vegas likes an known property like Reid

7. Intrade has him at 54.7

but that's down 9.1%. On the closing price chart, he's up big this month. (You have to choose Month from the drop down menu)

Not sure how much that helps. :)

9. Over 50% on Intrade is still good odds.

I think he'll win. I mean, Angle is a prohibitionist. Imagine people in Las Vegas voting for someone who wants to ban alcohol.

3. What's wrong with Nevada

She is a nut!!!!

4. Damn. I don't get it.

5. 3.5% margin of error.....

Labor day just came and went.

It's all just getting started.

6. For A Guy Who Was Supposedly Dead In The Water Not Too Long Ago

And considering how well the pre-election polls have been doing (how'd they do polling tea baggers recently?), Reid's in damn good shape at this point in time.

8. Harry Reid is the master of the razor-thin photo finish.

He barely beat John Ensign in 1998.

And with Angle as his nutcase opponent, it's likely he'll win this time around too.

Although I think he'll win, I'd still like to see a new Senate majority leader.

We got badly embarrassed by Daschle losing in 2004, and the Republicans almost suffered a similar humiliation in 2008 with McConnell.

I'm pretty sure Richard Durbin is safe for the time being, and he's next in line to Reid.

10. We absolutely need a new majority leader

I'm way past over Harry's quiet, dull-as-dishwater, self.

11. Senate history trivia: Who lost to Daschle in the minority leader race by 1 vote in 1996?

Answer:

Chris Dodd.

As much as I'm glad to see Dodd on his way out, I think any congressional leader should come from a safe blue state, to avoid a huge embarrassment.

Pelosi is a good example. She has that seat as long as she wants it.
