Sharon Angle On Verge Of Winning GOP U.S. Senate Race

Sharon Angle is on the verge of winning the GOP primary for the right to clean Harry Reid's clock in November. Here are the results of the their poll:
According to the Republican primary poll taken Tuesday through Thursday:
■ 32 percent said they would vote for Angle, a former Reno assemblywoman.
■ 24 percent for Tarkanian, a Las Vegas businessman.
■ 23 percent for Lowden, a Las Vegas casino executive and former state senator.
■ 3 percent for Chad Christensen, a Las Vegas assemblyman.
■ 2 percent for John Chachas, a Wall Street banker and Ely native.
■ 2 percent for none of these candidates, an option on Nevada ballots.
■ 1 percent for other contenders in the crowded field of a dozen Republicans on the ballot.

There are about 13% undecided.
It's very easy to understand why Angle is winning. Angle has run a positive campaign with very little, if any negative campaigning. Tarkanian started the negative campaigning and Lowden is just going with a negative campaign. I've listened to Lowden on the radio talk shows and listened to her commercials and she just sounds like a bitter old battle axe and does not sound likable. Hell, we already got that in Harry Reid, why would we want 2 old battle axes in the Senate race?
Tarkanian has run a good campaign as far as I can tell but he has not have the support of many conservatives and the GOP leadership, like Angle and Lowden have.
Angle has the conservative movement behind her and some very good endorsements. Getting Mark Levin to endorse and advertise for her was a huge coup.
So, come Tuesday, silly season will end and Sharon Angle, barring a huge mistake will be taking on Harry Reid in November.
