She's Baaaaaccckkkk...Sharron Angle is back and running for Rep. Dean Heller's
Sharron Angle is back and running for Rep. Dean Heller's seat in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District.

Seated at a kitchen table in a campaign video released Tuesday, Angle said she was running for Congress to stop the "the liberal agenda" being pushed by Democrats in Congress.

"The effort to bring the people's voice back into government did not end in 2010," said Angle.

Her return to politics was greeted by those fearing she'd crash the U.S. Senate race with a sigh of relief. But Republican operatives privately had hoped she would've stayed out of the House race as well.

She becomes the first Republican in the race to replace Heller, but will likely have competition from Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki and state party chair Mark Amodei.

“I’m hoping it’ll be a huge clean fight," national committeewoman Heidi Smith told POLITICO.

Angle's political calculation in choosing the House over the Senate: Winning the state's sprawling, mostly rural district will be much easier than having to contest Heller statewide.

3. We dodged a bullet with Harry's re-election in 2010 (literally). 2012 won't be like 2010.
So shut the Hell up, loser.

5. If we "punish" Obama/The Dems by sitting on our hands, then it'll be worse.
Republicans are likely to capture the Senate if we don't act.
