Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle is out with an odd little web ad attacking not only her opponent, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, but his son.
The ad takes a swing at Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rory Reid, playing off of Rory Reid’s latest ad that asks the question: How much lower can we go?
“That’s a good question, Rory,” the ad’s announcer says. “Since your dad became majority leader, Nevada’s unemployment rate has jumped from 4 to 14 percent, home values have dropped by half and worst of all, there are over 195,000 Nevadans out of work today.”
The web ad is curious because it’s a bit difficult to see how attacking Rory can be bad for Harry. But it does remind voters of the family dynasty in the making, which works against both candidates.
The tactic would seem to be better placed in the governor’s race. Harry is more of an albatross for Rory than the other way around.
Republican Brian Sandoval, however, has shown little desire, so far, to go after Rory by attacking his father.
One of Sandoval’s chief advisors, Greg Ferraro, is on the Republicans for (Harry) Reid list. Another adviser, Pete Ernaut, is business partners with Harry Reid’s long-time adviser Billy Vassiliadis.
As for the Angle campaign, a spokesman says the web ad is a trial run for the family dynasty message. If it’s well received, we could see it up on television soon.
as long as that lady has cuckoo eyes and a cuckoo message, there's nothing to worry about.
What a lunatic Angle is.
Man; what a terrific thought Harry Reid, and his Son being knocked out by a Sharron Angle.
'DOUBLE VISION GETTING THE BEST OF HER'
Sharron Angle was a bullfrog
Wasn't a good friend of mine
Never understood a single word she said
But I helped her drink her wine
Yes she always had some mighty fine wine
Singing joy to the Nevada (when she's gone)
Three Dog Night..."Joy To The World"
Sharron, we are going to have to send you and your friends who produced this ad, back to culinary school, because what you are cooking up here is not working. Your spaghetti is cooked too Al dente and no matter how hard you throw it up against the wall, it will not stick.
Better yet, hire better Chefs. That group out of DC doesn't have a clue of the Nevada cuisine or possess a well developed palate to match the demanding taste profile the Nevada voters desire.
Cooking classes reconvene on November 3rd.
@JerryWayne,people said the same thing about Michelle Bachmann...
The headline of this story is a lie and part of the smearing of Sharron Angle. The ad doesn't "attack" Rory Reid. It just mentions him. It asks him "How low can we go?". That's a far cry from an attack. Nice try, Las Vegas Sun.
Why on earth would we want another Reid??
Well I do wonder how bad Harry will beat up on Sharron for this ad. Just how will he respond?

Well, I guess Sharon sees things from different angle. I mean ... I am not a big fan of Harry but this woman is crazy. I bet she has a spaceship parked on her backyard. God help us...

+++++++
And if he does? Will Sharron start whining again about how mean ole Harry is using her words against her? She chose to get in this game and it is not for the thin skinned. Although my guess is that the Reid campaign will ignore the web ad -- not worth the money to respond.
@RustySwingset...
"people said the same thing about Michelle Bachmann"...
Yup. And she's a NutJob of the highest order, too.
My former "fellow Minnesotan's" who voted for her ought to have their heads examined.
But, then again...Jessie Ventura won a Governorship there...
what a train wreck that was.
weird things DO HAPPEN in politics.
It doesn't matter what Angle says.
It's too late.
We already know how crazy she is.
Nothing will change that.
Sharron knows what ordinary folks understand:
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Reid vs. Angle: Intended Consequences:
As a former Democrat and a former Republican, this New York Independent represents a large group of frustrated American voters who have learned that the most effective way we can influence the 'business-as-usual' fix in Washington, DC is to vote early and often with our feet and our pocketbooks. Unfortunately for the residents of Las Vegas and Nevada, our grass-roots travel boycott to Nevada will remain in effect as long as the dictatorial Harry Reid remains in the US Senate.
Hey Sharron, super ad. Best one yet. Why would people from NV vote those two losers in? You guys are Last in everything accept job loss. Yet I still see that there are many commentators that would rather keep NV broke by voting for Reid, than taking a chance on new blood. I thought Vegas was a betting town. Betting on losing more with Reid?
The better ad would have been to ask why Harry's own son is running ashamed of his last name. If Harry has done so much good, why the rebuff from his own flesh and blood?
Last I checked we had 2 senators. Angle seems to want to blast Reid for everything but why not blame Ensign also. Oh wait, he was, well, never mind..........
Sharron, have you received that word of knowledge from God about gambling???
If elected you will be representing Nevada and ALL the businesses in Nevada.
Sharron, have you received a word of knowledge from God concerning lying or bearing false witness???
Here is Angle: "OUT OF CONTEXT?" lmao- what a great choice teaparty! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmszQtK7I... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeuhigkWQ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC3vEpkQX... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=191ZS217z...
The teaparty mentality has just about destroyed the GOP. It is to fearful to do ANYTHING other than filibuster in Congress-God forbid they lose a teaparty vote. You have let Limbaugh and Beck and Hannity and Fox propagandize you into hatred of your fellow Americans. Why they even got you to hate your fellow party members-got you to call them Rino's and to ridicule them! How pathetic is that? Instead of blaming our economic problems on Wall St exec's stealing billions from us, or on the "trickle down" theory, or on giving tax cuts And going to war at the same time(BRILLIANT!); you blame unions and illegals and teachers and fireman and the people who were told by EVERYONE that financing a house they couldn't afford was standard practice. -You are not blaming the correct people for America's problems-if you want those responsible don't look downward or sideways; -look up and see that really big penthouse on Park Avenue? The people who really control the wealth-the ones who benefited from Bush's tax cuts-Those are the guys we should should be worried about. And as long as you let them manipulate you into hating all the rest of us-They can get away with anything they want.
Since your dad became majority leader, Nevada's unemployment rate has jumped from 4 to 14 percent, home values have dropped by half and worst of all, there are over 195,000 Nevadans out of work today."
Wait Sharon I thought it wasn't your job to create jobs in Nevada so by that logic why is it Harry's? Oh wait he's busy saving them ie; City Center and bringing in alternative energy jobs to the state. What the ad should really say is how bad would unemployment be if Reid wasn't in charge? It kills me that the party of the racist thinks that this woman is the savior when in reality she is an absolute loon. Anybody who supports a women that says "Rape is God's plan" should have their head examined.
Instead of blaming each party voters should see that there really is no difference between the 2 parties.
Throw'em all out and start over.
Get rid of Harry Reid first. Deal with Angle later if she does not do a good job. Harry has been a senator for over 24 years and it's time to replace him. TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS!!!
No mark, we'll deal with her now.
She's too crazy and too nutty.
No way, no how.
NO THANKS.
Angle has stated what she would do. She says she can talk with the best of them in fillibustring legislation. In short, she would do nothing. Voters: Don't be stupid. We are all angry about Vegas economy but don't blame it all on Reid. Remember we have another senator and a governor who plays sex games while the country and the state were in trouble. You and I know at least Reid is saving and bringing new jobs. What has Ensign done? Also Angle was in the state gov't for years, where's her record? She is responsible for this collapse, too. The state gov't with Gibbons, Sandavol, Angle and others have to take their responsibility for this mess too. The banks had a party with lying and minipulating us and the state gov't controls the banks also. Look at all sides, not just Reid. You all pick on Reid only because he is doing something and gets his name and face in public. I haven't seen anybody else on the news, except in scandles. No news on Sandavol or Angle in the gov't. Did they do anything? I doubt it.
great, another annoying commercial from one of our worthless political figures in nevada.
thats all i need, instead of 4 commercials for every 8 played, now it will be 6 for every 8 played!
is it november yet?
This is terrific! Sharron Angle will make a name for herself...on Nov 3rd the pundits will be calling her the Lady Senator-elect who put the whole Reid family OUT of politics.
We can't wait!
