You are greatly, greatly misinformed. Fluoride is a deadly poison that has no place in our water. Only the main stream media pushes for it. However, they are proponents of population control so it does make sense.

Reid could easily smear her on the prohibition issue.
How does being a US Senator relate to banning alcohol in NV? If she was running for Governor I could see it would be a problem.

I was wondering the same thing, do people think she will try and re-activate prohibition?

There are a variety of issues at play, though, around this. First of all, how much income is generated in Nevada because of licenses and permits related to the sale of alcohol, and did she consider the ramifications of her advocacy before supporting prohibition in Nevada? And if her reasons in Nevada are sound enought, why wouldn't she advocate prohibition nationally?

Angle seems to have a lot of ideas, but they don't seem to well thought-out ideas. For me, that would be problematic. But it will be up to the voters of Nevada, as it should be.

They were not the most accurate in 2008. They were not far off, they had a 6 point Obama advantage, a couple pollsters had 8, Obama won by 7.26. However, as I have said numerous times, likely voters is only a good indicator when you are in close to an election. When you are several months out, you are not going to get an accurate read on who is a likely voter, which is why in numerous recent polls Rasmussen has been off virtually 20 points from every single other pollster out there.

I kinda trust professional pollsters more as to the accuracy of their polling methods than someone from an internet forum. I am sure they have models as to how accurately account for someones claim as to how likely they are to vote. Rassmussen's accuracy speaks for itself, It is very good.

That was based off the original estimate of 2008, prior to all the votes being counted when Obama led by 6.15, he ultimately won by 7.26.

Yeah right...I think I will take the CDC and ADA over Sharron Angle a conspiracy site. One of us is misinformed and it isn't me.

I agree with you on this one. Much of what she seems to stand for doesn't seem to be in the best interest of NV> but for some reason she seems to be very popula and/or is it REid is so very unpopular..
