    Can Harry Reid
    Survive The Tea Party?

    Harry Reid

    America will now see just how strong the Tea Party is when they go up against a Democratic heavyweight like Harry Reid

    .

    Sharron Angle

    , who spent eight years in Nevada’s State Assembly until 2005, is the state’s Republican candidate going after Reid’s position as U.S. senator.

    The 60-year-old Angle got the backing from the infamous grassroots movement the Tea Party back in April 15 of this year. But will it be enough to defeat the country’s Senate majority leader? Maybe.

    The first real taste that America had of the Tea Party was when the organization supported one-time nude model Scott Brown while he was running for Massachusetts’ U.S. senator’s seat. And we all know how that turned out

    . A state that was the kingdom to Democrats’ late monarch, Ted Kennedy, was supposed to be handed to Democratic attorney general Martha Coakley. Didn’t exactly work out, did it?

    And right now American voters are riding the anti-incumbent wave as they voted out politicians who have worn out their welcome.

    Politicians like Utah Republican Senator Bob Bennett who spent 18 years voting on such things like Wall Street bailouts and co-sponsoring a bipartisan bill mandating health insurance coverage. Wait, does this sound familiar?

    Reid has been Nevada’s U.S. senator since Ronald Regan was president (that’s 1987 for the kiddies) and he voted on mandatory health care reform that the majority of the American public didn’t want and still doesn’t want

    after it became law.

    Ouch, maybe Angle really does have a shot after all.
