Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but it seems Nevada Republicans don’t believe Sharron Angle was a viable candidate who was robbed by the corrupt Nevada establishment (though that certainly didn’t help).
Bottom line: 68% say they wouldn’t renominate her if given the chance while 27% are content having had her as the nominee.
Did Angle really cost Republicans the seat? Perhaps. Think of it this way: Does anyone really doubt that Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, or Kelly Ayotte could have handed Reid his ass? I’m thinking he would be retiring today.
