LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Updated: Sep. 11, 2010 | 3:29 p.m.

Fueled by a burst of support from the Tea
Party, Sharron Angle has rocketed into a
near dead heat with Sue Lowden in the
white-hot U.S. Senate Republican primary,
according to a new poll commissioned by
the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Lowden, who had been the Republican
front-runner since February, lost support to
Angle, the former Reno assemblywoman
seen by likely Republican voters as the
most conservative candidate in a contest in
which three-quarters of Republican voters
say they're somewhat or very conservative,
the poll showed.
Danny Tarkanian lost ground to Angle, too.
She passed him after gaining a bit of
political star power and a bunch of financial
support from an endorsement by the Tea
Party Express, which launched radio and
TV ads to help her win the GOP
nomination to face U.S. Sen. Harry Reid in
the fall.
All three top GOP candidates are capable
of beating Reid, according to previous polls

Angle said Wednesday from rural Fallon,

"These numbers really confirm what we've
been fairly certain of all along: that if people heard my conservative

Angle said voters can look at her eight-year record in the Assembly
that shows a consistent pattern of opposing taxes and supporting
smaller government. Those are two tenets of the Tea Party
movement and conservative values in opposition to the Democratic
Party's hold on Congress and the White House, government
bailouts of industry, and Reid's and President Barack Obama's
signature health insurance overhaul.
Lowden said she wasn't worried about the tightening primary race
nine days before early voting starts May 22 and three weeks before
the June 8 vote.

"We're confident that our lead will hold," Lowden said in an interview
in Las Vegas. "We'll have a strong get-out-the-vote effort. You only
need one more vote to win, but we'll win by more than that."
According to the Mason-Dixon poll, if the Republican primary were
held today: Lowden would win 30 percent of the vote; Angle 25
percent; Tarkanian 22 percent; John Chachas 3 percent; and Chad
Christensen 2 percent.

The telephone survey of 500 likely Republican voters in Nevada
was taken on Monday and Tuesday and has a margin of error of
plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

In a similar Mason-Dixon survey taken April 5 to 7, Lowden led the
crowded field of 12 Republicans with 45 percent support compared
with 27 percent for Tarkanian, 5 percent for Angle, 4 percent for Las
Vegas Assemblyman Christensen and 3 percent for Chachas, an
Ely native and Wall Street investment banker.

"Lowden's loss has been Angle's gain," said Mason-Dixon pollster
Brad Coker. "Lowden has been the anointed front-runner for a
couple of months, which made her a target for everybody. And
Angle got the Tea Party endorsement, and she's the most
conservative candidate running."

Angle also has a history "of running strong down the stretch" in
close elections, Coker added.
In 2006, Angle was all but counted out in a congressional GOP
primary until the last few weeks, and then she narrowly lost to Rep.
Dean Heller by fewer than 500 votes. Two years ago, she almost
beat state Senate Minority Leader Bill Raggio, R-Reno, one of
Nevada's most powerful lawmakers.
"Obviously, Angle still has her homestretch legs," Coker said,
although he added that anything can happen in such a competitive
race. "I think you have to be conservative and say it's a three-way
race. But trend-wise, Angle has jumped out quickly and has the
momentum."
The Tea Party Express, the national group that held an anti-Reid
protest in the senator's hometown of Searchlight in late March,
shook up the race April 15 when it endorsed Angle at a Tax Day
news conference in Washington, D.C. The group's political action
committee has been raising money for Angle with a goal of
$500,000. It already has spent $200,000 for her, including on radio
and TV ads.
Meantime, Angle has been stacking up endorsements from more
than two dozen conservative groups and people, from Gun Owners
of America to "Joe the Plumber."

10/19/11 5:13 PM

Angle's name recognition has jumped to 85 percent compared with
67 percent about a month ago. Only 4 percent of GOP primary
voters do not know Lowden's name, and only 3 percent do not know
Tarkanian, a real estate developer and former basketball star for the
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, whose dad is well-known exbasketball coach Jerry Tarkanian.
The Tarkanian campaign expressed skepticism that Angle had risen
so high so fast. Jamie Fisfis, consultant to the campaign, said his
tracking polls show Angle moving up to 16 percent support, Lowden
dropping to 30 percent and Tarkanian gaining to tie the GOP frontrunner in his best showing so far.
"In my mind it's still a two-way race because Angle does not have
the name recognition to be ahead of either of the two candidates in
contention," Fisfis said.
Lowden blamed part of her recent drop in the polls to attacks from
both her GOP foes -- especially Tarkanian -- and Reid, whose
campaign has focused on her, criticizing her record as a casino
executive who with her husband, Paul Lowden, has owned and
managed four hotel-casinos.
The Reid campaign has released records that show problems with
health and safety violations at the Lowden properties over the years
that resulted in heavy fines and offered details of angry disputes
with the unions over medical benefits for their workers.
Tarkanian has criticized Lowden for voting for fees as a lawmaker in
the early 1990s and for telling a reporter recently that she
understood why some members of Congress voted for the first
government bailout during the Bush administration when lawmakers
said it was needed to avoid massive business failures and a
depression. She since has said she wouldn't have voted for bailouts
then or now.
"It's not unexpected that the race would tighten after Harry Reid has
spent $8 million going after me," Lowden said Wednesday, referring
to how much his campaign has spent. "The Reid campaign and
Harry Reid do not want me to come out of this primary, and so they
have targeted me."
In the past month, Lowden has been dogged by near daily attacks
by the Democratic Party for suggesting people could barter with
their doctors for cheaper health care.
She defended her remarks made at a town hall meeting in Mesquite
by saying that in the old days, people even used chickens to barter,
a comment that prompted video spoofs and late-night talk show
jokes about her.
The gaffe hasn't had much effect on Republican primary voters,
however, according to the new Mason-Dixon poll, which asked what
effect her remarks would have on support for her.
Some 70 percent of those polled said Lowden's bartering remarks
would have "no effect" on their voting decision, 15 percent said they
would be "less likely" to vote for her, and 12 percent said they would
be "more likely" to vote for her. Another 3 percent said they weren't
sure.
Lowden said that during her campaign stops in rural Nevada, voters
have told her that they're still bartering with doctors to get cheaper
medical care in some cases.
"I never said this was my health care policy, but bartering is still
happening out there in rural Nevada," Lowden said Wednesday.
"Harry Reid is the one who's out of touch if he doesn't know that."
Lowden has been running a primary and general campaign at the
same time, which has cost her support among staunch
conservatives and Tea Party movement supporters.
According to the new poll, 58 percent said they consider themselves
"a supporter of the Tea Party movement." Another 27 percent do
not, and 15 percent said they don't know or refused to answer.

"I am a member of the Tea Party movement, as well, and many of
my supporters and volunteers are members," said Lowden, who
spoke at the Tea Party Express event in Searchlight and has
attended many local Tea Party group events as candidates compete
for that key slice of the 2010 vote.
"It's not unexpected that Sharron would get their support, but they
know I'm one of them, too."

I think Lowden is out of this. Her poll numbers are down 20 points since she
suggested that people should pay their doctors with chickens, then denied that she
had ever said it. Saying something dumb is one thing. But lying about it later
(especially when you said it on camera) is really stupid.

led to a result she didn't like.

There are a great number of 48-year-old men that have a lot better resume than
Mr. Tarkanian. The problem they have is that they don't have a famous father and,
ergo, a recognizable name. Other than his name, Mr. Tarkanian is an unremarkable
person. He offers no qualifications for the office which he seeks other than his name.
He has pointed-out Sue Lowden's shortcomings and flip-flops and for that
Republicans should be grateful but he has really advanced no reason why he is
qualified to represent us and no record by which we can measure his steadfastness
to the principles he preaches. Accordingly, it appears that Angle is the candidate
who measures up to the job as she has a solid record of upholding the constitutions
of Nevada and the USA.

begun to fade into the distant memories of most Americans when new allegations

With two reports of alleged impropriety in less than two weeks, I can't help but
wonder what's going to come up next.
First, Senator Reid allegedly violated Senate ethics rules when he failed to report a
real estate transaction that netted him $1.1 million in 2004 for property he had sold
three years earlier. The Senator has attributed his failure to report the deal to a
"clerical error" and promises to amend his ethics reports to account for the
transaction. While he's at it, Senator Reid has revealed that he will report two
additional land deals that were also omitted from his ethics filings because of
"clerical errors."
The most recent news reports allege that Senator Reid used campaign donations
instead of his personal funds to pay Christmas bonuses to the support staff at the
Ritz-Carlton, where he maintains his Washington residence.

My good friend joesixpack,
I, just like you, consider myself to be an independent thinker.
I listened to Heidi Harris' talk show about a month ago and she was right when she
said that all politics starts off with a premise. Either you believe there is a
compelling role for government programs or you don't. It's an honest discussion for
good people to have.
Looking back at our history to the great depression, I feel confident that the New
Deal saved our country...and capitalism, itself. Older folks remember the alphabet
soup of programs including the TVA which built the Hoover Dam.
President Reagan, demonizing government sought to strip away many of the
regulations which were designed to never let a great depression happen again. He
said that "our kids" would pay dearly for it if we didn't.
Well, joesixpack, the "kids" are here today and it not pretty for them. I only thank
goodness that the FDIC from the New Deal was enhanced. At least some savings
was spared.
I see our government spending our money overseas to promote this that or the
other thing. They PRIVATIZED Walter Reed Army hospital and when it didn't show a
bottom line profit, our soldiers suffered. When the government used to run it it was
top notch...as is the V.A. today.
We may never agree except for one thing. Whatever our ideological differences, I
know we both want what's best for our country.
Republicans who continue demonizing our government just isn't where its at for me.
As a Democrat and a liberal I will continue to post about the contributions to the
accomplishments, social and economic, that helped make our country great.

wrote "To be clear, our particular organization has not endorsed in the Nevada GOP
primary, nor do we plan to. We also have not, nor will we ever support Walt Minnick

The confusion is swirling around because "Our Country Deserves Better PAC," the

The Tea Party Express is now spending money I donated to their group to push a

Party Express. But they know that people only hear Tea Party. This stinks of Scott

To my friend Joesixpack,
Why was Bush running a $296 Billion deficit in 2006? (which is the actual number)
Do you think it’s because his plan to cut Social Security failed (as it always will
because, like I said, it’s a popular program)?
If he couldn’t cut it in 2004, when the stock market was at an all-time high, what
are the chances anybody’s going to be able to cut it moving forward?
Unfortunately, this is the crux of the problem (that conservatives and Republicans
refuse to face). Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid are all hugely popular programs
that (along with the military) make up the largest bulk of government spending.
None of these programs are likely to be cut because the American people don’t want
them cut. So if we can’t cut spending, taxes have to go up.
We don't have a check box for how we think our hard earned taxpayer dollars
should be spent.
But I get queasy at the thought of middle class families having to scrounge together
money to buy books pencils and toilet paper for our kid's schools while Bushes oil
friends made a ton of money at the risk and the security of our country.
It angers me that Wall Street keeps getting help while Main Street has to suffer easy
credit ripoffs.
I don't mind paying a fair share in taxes, I just mind the fake Republican anger at
government, demonizing it to the point where it can't properly function and then
blaming "big spending liberals" for the fact that our government is broken!

I have to vote an absentee ballot because of the economy in Vegas. From my visits

- but I'd prefer the best chance to rid us of Reid. I agree that a few Tea Party
leaders do not speak for all in the movement, and many of the anti-Lowden
comments here look like camouflaged attacks from Reid trolls.
Angle seems to have a pretty lack-luster resumé after eight years in the legislature,
even though she seems to be a true conservative. Her main assets listed herein are
that she comes on strong late - but still loses by a sliver. I wouldn't know a thing
about her except for a few individuals in the Tea Party Express. Her website
philosophy seems a little thin, yet I will support her over Reid. It would be nice to
select someone who not only refects my views - but can be effective. I just want the
best who is able to beat Reid, and can clash heads in Washington to come out on
top, on our side. Lowden is well-known because she can speak well and we have all
heard her. Unlike some here, who attacked her for stopping the Ron Paul loyalists
from staging a faux primary, it appears that just shows her ability to lead
effectively. Tark has a much deeper website with a well though-out stand on the

them, it should be up to the parents, not the government. Government should not
legislate every little stupid thing that catches their fancy.
So I wrote a bunch of emails to a lot of the State Legislators appealing for them to
do something to try and keep government small and out of private lives.
Out of the 2 dozen or so emails I sent, the only person who personally responded to

The "chickens" remark is more of a symptom than a cause---it shows that Sue
Lowden has not seriously considered a single issue that would be of importance to

Lowden, Little Tark, Angle.
The question for Nevada GOPers is which one is sufficently retarded to win the
nomination?
Meanwhile, Harry Reid is busy actually leading our nation's government -- cleaning
up Bush's Wall Street meltdown and now dealing with the oil spill.

After the baggers finish ripping each other apart the winner will have to face the
Senate Majority Leader in televised debates. Harry will be well prepared based on
his years of firsthand experience.

Sharron Angle has my vote. Sue Lowden is a typical Rino republican, the same type
that brought this country and the republican party down. I will never forget what
Sue Lowden did at the Nevada state republican convention in 2008 when she turned
her back on the people of Nevada because the Nevada republican party freaked
when they saw that Nevada was actually going to successfully nominate Ron Paul
delegates to the national convention. She single handedly shut the convention down
in Reno, and a year later the box with the votes that was stored away at the hosting
casino's safe confirmed that Ron Paul was going to have delegates from Nevada.
Sue Lowden, you will not win and cheat your way out of this one.

Sharron Angle is an amazing person. She is a Goldwater-style constitutional
conservative who knows a great deal about the problems (and solutions) Nevadans
are facing. She has a perfect record of constitutional voting over her eight years in
the state assembly. She is an indefatigable campaigner whom I met a few years ago
when she was standing in front of a supermarket getting signatures on a ballot
initiative to cap property taxes. She has an pick-up old truck, not a $500,000, self
aggrandizing motor home like her Primary opponent, Mrs. Lowden.
If you want to be represented by someone who has "shoveled the stall" before
asking permission "to ride the White Horse," Sharron Angle is your best bet. On the
other hand, if you think casino executive, Sue Lowden, cares about the issues
important to you and not her elitist friends and fellow casino owners, vote for her.

We want to hear solutions. After watching both debates I thought Angle and

want, people that are doers. On a flip note we have to support whoever wins and
get communist Reid the heck out of there.

Interesting note that a new recent poll shows Reid leading this sorry field of

win in November, and then we can watch the R-J publisher and editor claim the

For 11 years, the federal government has been burying nuclear waste in New
Mexican salt beds at a place called WIPP, or the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. It's
waste from making atomic weapons.
But now the government is looking for a place to put thousands of tons of spent fuel
from reactors. These salt beds could be the place. New Mexicans, however, are
faced with the prospect of becoming the nation's default nuclear waste dump.
The former mayor of Carlsbad, N.M., is solidly on the "yes, bring it on" side. Say the
word "salt," and he grins.
"The biggest asset we have are those salt beds out here east of town," says Bob
Forrest, as he sips iced tea in the restaurant of the Stevens Hotel. "They've been out
there 250 million years, and they've just proven perfect to put this kind of waste to
store it permanently, and that's the key to our success."

want someone to lead this country. To supply the ideas for change. Look at Angle's
"Issues Page" on her website. Her ENTIRE coverage of ALL issues is a long as

Wolf or Sheep? wrote on May 13, 2010 07:53 AM:

Whenever I see Sue Lowden speaking at various political functions, I think of the
following Bible verse:
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves." (Mat 7:15 - KJV)
Sue likes to talk about her humble beginnings but there is an obvious, though
subliminal, message that comes through every time I see her on the campaign trail
and that message is total self centered thinking. Everything she says is about Sue
Lowden-not the issues! "Harry Reid is after me because I'm the only one that can
beat him." "I'm a businesswoman and I make payroll every two weeks." is one of
her favorite pitches. Does she make payroll or does the public corporation of which
she is treasurer make the payroll? I,I,I,Me,Me,Me. If she donated a dollar to charity
every time she used the first-personal pronoun, no one would be homeless.
So, it's no wonder that the very conservative and very personable Mrs. Angle is
making a run. Angle speaks about the issues and Lowden speaks about herself.
Unfortunately for Lowden, on June 8th, she will learn that the world does not
revolve around her.

Voting for Angle is just one more nail in the coffin of the Tea Party and the GOP for
that matter. She has reached a high because of the rhetoric flying out there about
Lowden's Chicken comment and after it settles down, she will be a nobody just like
she was three weeks ago. Angle will be a voiceless freshman (from a state that lacks
any kind of national respect) in the Senate and will be silenced and ultimately
succumb to the Same Old Governing of John McCain, Lindsay Graham and many
other career senators.

Sharron is definitely not a RINO. When she is good she is VERY good. That's a lot
*more* than I can say for her closest competitors.
Sue, the standard bearer of the HUGE government GOP, first suggested that we
freeze Washington spending. In response to Tea Party activism she suggested
cutting 5%. Well *that* really differentiated herself from Reid! Now that TPs and
Undecideds are rallying behind Sharron, look for Sue to suggest that -- OMG -- we
cut 6%.
Sharron wants to cut 25%. That might sound interesting until you realize it would
just get us back to where we were when GWB left office. These Republicans make

Sue Lowden has one big problem....her record. She was a "play ball" Republican
who supported HR. Now in better times that might have been just a small issue. But
when we've learned that Harry lied to us about healthcare costs and stood up in
front of the American people yesterday and lied about Sandra Day O'Connor's
judicial record it means a lot. And Lowden is a moderate Republican who shares a
good portion of blame for the disarray of the Nevada GOP.

Mr. Tarkanian is a journeyman candidate for everything without success. He was a
mediocre attorney with an undistinguished record. He's being supported by the
same type trial attorneys (G. Dallas Horton) that are the backbone of Harry's
campaign coffers. While he may be a better alternative to Harrry, he's just Sue
Lowden light.

I like John Chachas but he poorly timed his entry into the campaign. It looks like if
we want real change in direction of our government Sharron Angle is the proper
choice.

Sadly, I donated max to Lowden already in primary. May need to send Angle some

Angle is the best by far. She doesn't flip-flop. She tells it like it is and then stands by

Reid & Lowden deny at one moment what they said the moment before. Tell 'em
what they want to hear, then do what the puppetmasters behind the scenes tell
them to do. The net result is screw you.
Despite the claims, Lowden will not beat Harry Reid. Like in this primary, she fades
fast once people find out what she's really like.
