Sharron Angle Doesn’t Have a Prayer in NV-Sen
The seat vacated by John Ensign has been filled by NV Rep. Dean Heller (R). The seat would still go for re-election at it’s normal time next year. So what if, Sharron Angle decides to coax Nevada voters that she’s fit for the job? How exactly would everyone’s favorite Silver State Loon fare? From Public Policy Polling:
My emphasis addedJust for the heck of it we tested to see how Angle, less than a year removed from winning the Nevada Republican primary for Senate, would do if she changed her mind and decided to challenge Dean Heller next year. In one of the most lopsided head to head match ups in the history of PPP Heller leads Angle by 76 points at 84-8. Angle trails Heller 81-12 even with the Tea Party members who fueled her success last year.
Keep in mind Angle ran against Heller in a House primary in 2006 and lost just 36-35. Combine this poll finding with the one in January where 68% of Republicans in the state said they regretted her winning the nomination last year and it doesn’t look like Angle’s future political prospects are good even in a Republican primary.
Nevada Republicans generally seem to have learned their lesson after Angle’s nomination quite possibly cost them a Senate seat last year…
Perhaps she’ll have more luck at her ambitions to run for the House of Representatives. GEEZ.
