Harry Reid Goes On Offense

With this campaign ad against Sharron Angle, and it's a doozy.



Ouch. On the other hand, Greg Sargent has a point:

What's interesting is that even though Angle did say all these things, and even though Reid has widely disseminated her comments throughout the state, the race is still very close. It's a measure of how stiff a headwind Reid faces.

It's routinely pointed out that Reid's reelection chances turn on whether he can render Angle an unacceptable alternative. But the rubs is that given how disliked Reid and the Obama agenda are in Nevada, he needs to render her really, truly, horrifyingly unacceptable. If the stuff Angle has already said isn't enough to do that, it's hard to imagine what it would take.

In other words, if Angle's own lunacy doesn't damn her and Nevadans hate Harry Reid that much, there's really no hope at all for the Dems this year.
