As I watched the primary election unfold among the Republican candidates seeking their party’s U.S. Senate nomination to face Majority Leader Harry Reid, I saw three candidates emerge as leaders in the race — Sharron Angle, Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian.
From the intensity of the campaign and the outside influences from political action committees, lobbyists and special-interest groups, I feel like the Republican Party is divided. The Tea Party that was supposed to be a unifying force is looking more like a dividing force. Let us not forget that the candidates took pretty good shots at each other during the campaign.
So if I were to check with the oddsmakers, we would have an embattled Republican facing an unscathed Democrat in the fall, and it would be Reid by a length.
