Nevada Senate: Reid vs Angle

Whoa there, Silver. We’ve profiled Nevada’s hang-‘em-high Senate race several times. So here’s the latest rundown of the dust-kicking between Democrat incumbent Harry Reid and Republican challenger Sharron Angle. President Obama was in Las Vegas Thursday night, saying how much he now loves the place and also the Senate Majority Leader, who was being targeted by Republicans nationally.

In late afternoon radio interview, Angle takes her statement that ‘I am not in the business of creating jobs” for Nevadans to a whole new level: Sharron Angle Says She Wouldn’t Have Fought to Save CityCenter, 22k Jobs

Sharron Angle’s pre-scrub website memorialized online...now permanently. After 24 hours of caution following frivolous legal threats to censor our free speech, Democrats resurrect Angle’s website with her truly-held views
Reid Re-Reposts Angle’s Old Website—Even After Threat Of Lawsuit. Harry Reid isn’t letting....

...threats of a lawsuit stop him -- he’s sticking with his Web campaign against ‘the real Sharron Angle.’ After the Angle campaign sent the Reid camp a cease-and-desist letter.

California governor: Brown vs Whitman
The much-anticipated race to fill Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office pits very longtime veteran Democrat politician – and former governor -- Jerry Brown against newcomer Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay and GOP establishment favorite.

Both sides made it known early that they were prepared to go negative, with Whitman using her personal wealth to generate attack ads on Brown’s long, long record and Brown responding characteristically caustically. Many such attacks came via social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Jerry Brown

That was not an earthquake California. Meg Whitman just dropped her wallet.
