Angle Dodges Media In DC Debut
Ex-NV Assemb. Sharron Angle (R) was on Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid's turf when she met with Senate GOPers Tuesday, but neither NV SEN candidate was talking.
Before and after meeting with GOP senators at their weekly luncheon, Angle not only declined to answer reporters' queries, but did not respond at all to media following her. The only exception was a "yes" when asked if she was pleased with her reception.
Reid, meanwhile, did not hold his weekly stakeout with reporters, where he would have been asked about Angle's visit. Reid's office said he canceled the presser to join his wife Landra for surgery related to her recovery from a car accident in March. "She's doing a fine," a Reid spokeswoman said after the surgery.
GOP senators said that in their closed lunch meeting, Angle, who is looking to raise funds to compete with Reid's large war chest, was introduced by Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), and described her primary victory, fundraising and polling. Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA) said Angle shared polling data that showed she has a double-digit lead over Reid.
"She was excited," Isakson said. "She said she is going to work hard." Isakson said Angle, a tea party favorite, told the GOP lawmakers she is "part of the team."
Senate Min. Leader Mitch McConnell noted in his weekly stakeout that all GOP Senate nominees are invited to meet with the Senate GOP Conference.

Privatizing the VA; getting rid of the U.S. Depts. of Ed and Energy; scrapping Social Security and Medicare.
Nice to see Sharron is trying an Extreme Make-Over from her extremism.
