For all you non-Nevadans out there, we like her for the very reasons the left and the political elite hate her – George Will on Sharron Angle:
… when asked where she was born, she is on message: “I was conceived in Lovelock [Nevada] but — if you’re not pro-life — I was born in Klamath Falls [Oregon].” During her four terms in Nevada’s 42-seat Assembly, many votes were “41-to-Angle.” She wears as a badge of honor having been voted Nevada’s worst legislator, a disparagement she says is always bestowed on a conservative because the voters are members of the press and the political class (the legislators and their staff).
Her favorite legislators? U.S. Sens. Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn and Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann…
…Angle is somebody nobody sent. Nobody in the upper reaches of national or even Nevada politics, that is. But voters may not be finished sending her places.
We are entirely realistic. We know she’s not as smooth as Sue Lowden would have been. We know she’s taken controversial positions that we true-blue conservatives cheer but which some might misconstrue (especially with the left deliberately misrepresenting said positions). We know she’s inexperienced in the hammer-and-tongs electoral battle Reid will give her. We know she could lose whereas if we had voted for Lowden, it might have been a walk over.
And we don’t care about that.
She’s one of us. We know that if we get her in to the Senate, she’s going to remain loyal to the principles she proclaims and to the people who elected her. We expect that we’ll be throwing a political hand grenade in to the “collegial” (ie, “corrupt”) Senate. We want a pistol-packing, rural grandma who won’t roll over for career politicians.
And, we think she can win – and win rather handily. Obama and his Democrats claimed they were who we had been waiting for – Sharron Angle really is.
