    Since Angle is a Constitutional scholar, where in the Constitution does it say their should be political parties and primaries? Also, states decide details of elections, ballots, requirements like fees, etc.

    Given the result of the NY election, Angle knows her views on cutting Medicare and killing Seniors will make he unelectable.

    mred just explained the reason why for this choice.

    Because of last night's 26th CD in New York and the outcome, this reduced anything Sharron Angle has to offer as irrelevant; making her unelectable.

    The best thing that happened to energize the Democratic base is the Ryan Plan.

    Plan on more falling.

    So because the Republican Party will not hand her the nomination she is taking her marbles and going home? Gosh, I was really looking forward to the idiocy that is the mindset of Ms. Angle.....

    I am glad that bimbo angle has decided to crawl back under whatever rock she crawled out from under. We republicans need good leaders to step up, not bimbos. Hey Sharon, thanks a lot for helping Harry Reid get re-elected. Great job.

    Damn. Just when I was needing some more laughs in my life, my favorite political candidate pulls out of the race.

    Sad. No Angle words of wisdom.

    I'm sure Angle knows that she is irrelevant and unelectable and always was...what she probably just realized was that there isn't as much money in it (running) for her anymore.

    Whatever her reasons, I am glad to not have to cringe through her TV ads this year.

    Too bad. I was hoping on her help for the Dems.
