Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio still has it. What did he do after reading Citizen Outreach ratings that showed his nemesis, Dina Titus, looked more conservative than he — sure fodder for his ultraconservative primary opponent, Sharron Angle? He called the ratings’ author, Chuck Muth, and asked to meet. Seems Raggio, obviously aware Angle would use the ratings against him, wondered if Muth would help him. No pressure. No intimidation. The usual, velvety Raggio pitch. Turns out it was unnecessary. Muth had already planned a statement of support and primary endorsement. Smooth, Sir Bill. I wonder what Rep. Jon Porter will do to get Muth to endorse him against Titus. My guess: Nothing that will work as well as Raggio’s approach.
