Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Its long been common knowledge here that many many Nevadans dont like their senior senator. What Tuesdays exit polls showed was that their feelings go well beyond simple dislike. And yet if the exit polls are correct a significant number of people voted to re-elect a man they think isnt doing a good job and who has stayed too long in the Senate.
In the end Reid won 50.2 percent of the vote to Republican challenger Sharron Angles 44.6 percent.
It would be hard to find a more telling measure of Angles deficiencies as a candidate or the devastating effectiveness of Reids scorched-earth negative
campaign against her.
Funded by millions of dollars from public-sector unions Reid relentlessly attacked Angle from the moment she won the GOP nomination.
Many of the earliest attacks went unanswered forming impressions of Angle so negative that they outweighed the voters negative opinion of Reid.
