Sharron Angle is ahead of Harry Reid in the latest polls for the Nevada Senate seat and the explosive news today is her amazing draw of $14 million between July 1 and Sept. 30."Sharron Angle produced one of the most successful single quarters of fundraising in the nation's history for a U.S. Senate campaign," said Angle communications director Jarrod Agen. "This is a testament to the hatred of Harry Reid, the nation's disapproval of President Obama, and the unprecedented grassroots support for Sharron Angle."
Agen did not provide figures for how much money Angle had left in the bank at the end of September and it's likely to be well less than the $14 million she raised since she relies heavily on a costly and aggressive direct mail fundraising operation.
Reid has yet to release his third quarter fundraising totals but as of mid-summer he had collected just short of $14 million so far in 2010. For the election cycle to date, Reid has raised $18 million.
Despite Harry Reid's aggressive campaigning and attacks against Angle, she is in the lead and now has evened out the money issue to the point where she can match Reid ad for ad, attack for attack.
I have said this before and will continue to reiterate it, Nevada's Senate seat does not only concern Nevadans, but replacing Reid in Nevada removes him as Senate Majority Leader of the United States Senate.
This race concerns every single citizen of the United States of America.
