The release today of more names (see below) to the Sig Rogich-led Republicans for Reid list is part of the effort to marginalize Sharron Angle in the weeks after the primary. Many of the folks below are Establishment types, lobbyists and others who, not unexpectedly, are backing Reid. I love seeing Michelle Laxalt here (Where's Paul?) These are folks who are turned pragmatic by business, recruited because they are Rogich cronies or scared of Angle. The question is: Does this send the message that Reid is the smarter choice, which could have an impact, or that Angle truly is this season's anti-Establishment candidate, which might help her in certain quarters?
