NVSen: Angle's direct knock-out against Reid?

Because of the lamestream media's portrayal of Nevada Republican US Senate candidate Sharron Angle as an "extremist," expectations of her debate performance were low. By the way, among those "extreme" views are her support for the abolishment of the Department of Education, something Ronald Reagan favored. All it does is funnel cash from the the taxpayer to the federal level back to the local level. Why not keep that "for the kids" money close to home and put the federal bureaucrats out of work?

As you may have seen this morning on the cable news channels, Angle queries Reid about how he became wealthy on a senator's salary:

Throughout the Nevada Senate campaign, it was Republican Sharron Angle who looked unprepared for-prime-time. But after last night's debate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid looked more like the gaffe-prone politician as he struggled to make headway in one of the closest and most consequential Senate contests.

Angle took full advantage of Reid's position as a political insider, taunting him for his support of Democratic policies, from the stimulus to the health care bill. At one point, Angle told Reid to "man up" - and later questioned how he became so wealthy as a public servant.

"I'm not a career politician," Angle said in her opening remarks. "I live in a middle class neighborhood in Reno; Senator Reid lives in the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, DC."

Reid, recognizing the importance of the economy in this election, said his top priority as a senator is to create jobs. Angle retorted: "Harry Reid, it's not your job to create jobs. It's your job to create confidence to get the private sector to create jobs."
