With Sue "Chicken" Lowden on a downward trajectory, the GOP looks set to nominate Rand Paul's female doppleganger in Nevada.
On her website — full of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors — Angle declares: "Like a soldier going to war, I am fighting for my country, the Constitution and a free society."
She wants to privatize Social Security; cut federal spending by hundreds of billions of dollars; build nuclear power plants inside Yucca Mountain; abolish the federal income tax and institute a "simpler, fairer, flatter tax system"; "defund Obamacare"; pull the United States out of the United Nations; ban nearly all abortions; get rid of the Energy and Education departments as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and remove all campaign finance restrictions, requiring instead immediate reporting of donations.
And in a state with a large and growing Hispanic population, Angle takes a hard-line view on immigration, siding with the tough new Arizona law that gives law enforcement officials broad discretion to crack down on suspected illegal aliens.
Angle's response? Well, everyone agrees with the teabaggers!
Angle says the Democrats are misreading the country.
"They’ve missed the pulse of the nation," Angle told POLITICO. "It’s a wave of conservatism across the land. I think they’re not really reading what is truly going on if they think I’m going to be an easy opponent for Harry Reid."
After being named the "worst member" of the Nevada Assembly in 1999 and 2005 by the conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal, Angle claimed it was all a liberal plot.
Angle said the press, legislators and staff participating in the poll were largely "left leaning."
"Any conservative thought, or any conservative voting, to their way of thinking is terrible," Angle said. "And so that’s really what that rating was about. I wear that as a badge of honor. What that does is just solidify my record as being a conservative."
Whether it's Lowden or Angle, it looks as if Reid may be the luckiest politician this cycle. By rights, his numbers suggest he's facing imminent retirement to his Searchlight ranch. But as with Kentucky, the teabaggers are doing their damnedest to give Democrats a new lease on life.
