Reid has won in Nevada. It is all over.

Republican fears that Sharron Angle was the weakest candidate against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid may be founded, according to the latest Mason-Dixon poll conducted for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Reid is leading Angle, 44%-37%, following a month-long ad blitz in which he characterized the tea party favorite as “too extreme” for Nevada. The latest head-to-head is the best Reid performance against Angle in Mason-Dixon polling this year.

“He’s had five perfect weeks,” pollster Brad Coker said. “The race has been all about her, and he’s been doing a good job of pounding her.”

Further, from early June to today Angle has lost support across the board among men, women, indepe/ndents, Republicans, and even Democrats. For example, her Republican support has dropped from 81% to 70%, and her support among women dropped from 38% to 33%.

The Tea Party and their wing-nut candidates are the best thing to happen for the Democrats in this election cycle. Yes, a few will get elected but then they will implode once in office.

44% is about where Union Members, Welfare Recipients and social left-wingers end and 37% is about where traditional GOP voters end. Reid is the incumbent and way under 50% and that is not good for him. Remember, trailer park denizens don't always get out to vote as they should and would-be Reid supporters might lose their mail-in ballots with the pile of unemployment paperwork and missed payment warnings.

And the biased polling questions always paint the supporter of the Conservative into some sort of Nazi-light corner, so many just say they are undecided (currently ~ 19%). And how can one be undecided about the policies in play this election? The election will be close, if not a victory for Angle.

Reid might win and he might not. The idea that the Dems have had to put in so much money up to defend him is money that will help elect other Conservatives elsewhere. With well over 90 seats in play and with Repubs needing only 39 to regain control of the house and with the Senate still in play it will be a fun night to watch the returns.
