sharron angle: 'Shock and awe' coming to Washington

Las Vegas, Nevada (CNN) -- Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle on Friday night declared "there is going to be shock and awe in Washington" after the election.

During a rare appearance open to the media, Angle also mocked one of President Obama's phrases, promising "we're going to have a teachable moment."

The woman who could unseat the Senate's top Democrat vowed that conservatives will demand that Congress use its lame duck session to repeal health care reform, which she called "Obamacare," and permanently extend the Bush tax cuts.

The event was a get-out-the-vote rally with Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, talk show host Michael Reagan and actor Jon Voight.

1. If she does win
I hope that Osama bin Laden will have the courtesy to thank those who elected her for their help in his struggle against the U.S.

3. Yep, But Not How She Expects It...
...especially in the Senate. It's still very much a boys club based on "seniority". First termers are generally seen but not heard (such as Al Franken) as they have little power or influence. I can easily see Angle run into a lot of brick walls...especially within her own party. She'll be a pawn in the power battle between DeMint and McConnell. Overall, she'll be backbenched and ignored...Nevada will lose a lot of clout as it will be represented by one disgraced womanizer and an inexperienced crank. But if this is what the people of Nevada feel best represents them, so be it.

4. And I predict it will be equally costly as a political philosophy as it was a foreign policy.
Could John McCain possibly sink any lower than he has by campaigning for this lunatic?

5. Again, no freakin' clue about the implications of what she says.
The Teahadists are shockingly, willfully ignorant.
