A CLOSER LOOK AT ANGLE'S IMPRESSIVE HAUL - She has about the same amount as Reid in hand.

But do not count on the media to tell you that.

A CLOSER LOOK AT ANGLE'S IMPRESSIVE HAUL.... Among many campaign observers, many jaws dropped this week when extremist Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R) reported having raised a stunning $14 million in the last quarter. To put that in perspective, her opponent, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), who isn't exactly a slouch in the fundraising department, he raised one-seventh the total of his Nevada rival over the same period.

But there was a catch that wasn't evident when the Angle campaign made the announcement, and it's an interesting story.

Not long after winning her primary with almost no money at all, Angle hired a controversial fundraising firm called Base Connect, which has a habit of raising huge sums for its GOP clients, and then taking exorbitant commissions/fees for itself.
...
Which brings us to this week, and Angle's remarkable $14 million quarter. How much of that haul will the right-wing candidate have left for the closing weeks of the campaign? The answer makes a big difference.

Nevada Republican Sharron Angle announced earlier this week she raised a staggering $14 million between the start of July and the end of September. Observers seized on the impressive total as a sign her challenge to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was gaining momentum.

But what her campaign failed to mention in its announcement was that the bulk of that money has already been spent.... Despite the impressive total -- which was actually $14.3 million -- Angle had only $4 million left in the bank as of Sept. 30.

1. Oh, good.

I love it when they get screwed by their own.

2. The best part will be

When they lose, despite the obscene amounts of money that they raised for their hate-fests.

Think of how many people could have been employed with this money, how many could have kept their homes, fed their children, gotten a much needed operation. In my mind it is criminal that in the middle of such an economic catastrophe, "fiscal conservatives" (what a joke) are spending so much money to PURCHASE a GOVERNMENT JOB.

3. Angle has a better than 50-50 shot at winning.

Anytime an incumbent is below 50% there is reason for worry. And even though a lot of that money has been spent, she has about the same amount of money in the bank as Reid has. This is going down to the wire.

4. Reid is going to win by 1.5-2.5 points. nt

8. I don't care if he wins by 2 votes as long as he beats this kook. n/t

7. Thanks Mass. I saw something similar posted briefly on Polticico last last night,

but it is gone now. It is like you said, the media doesn't want people to know the real facts.
