Economy and Foreclosures Make Latino Voters Moving Targets for Democrats
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyIn 2008, nearly 70 percent of Latino voters supported Barack Obama and helped Democrats expand their majorities in the House and Senate. But two years later, a new survey shows that Hispanic voters are far less motivated than most other Americans to go to the polls, a finding that could have a major impact on key races in California, Nevada, Texas and Florida, where Latinos make up between 15 and 20 percent of registered voters. Leslie Sanchez, president of the Impacto Group and author of "Los Republicanos: Why Hispanics and Republicans Need Each Other," said the the apathy among some Latinos ...

Fundraising Frenzy: It's Now or Never to Raise Campaign Cash
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyIt's fundraising frenzy time in the nation's capital. With the midterm elections less than six weeks away, candidates, special interest groups and Democratic and Republican allies and campaign committees are busy raising money through events with high-profile political figures, direct-mail appeals and e-mails. For candidates to make use of the cash -- from reserving television time to funding get-out-the vote drives -- donors are being pressured now to write the checks or make online donations. Tea Party-backed Christine O'Donnell, the surprise GOP nominee for Senate in the Delaware ...
Did Christine O'Donnell TV Ad Rip Off Sharron Angle's Nevada Senate Ad?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyChristine O'Donnell, running for U.S. Senate in Delaware, has a new TV ad bashing her Republican primary opponent, Rep. Mike Castle. But O'Donnell's ad looks eerily similar to one recently produced by Intrepid Media for Americans for New Leadership, in support of Nevada candidate Sharron Angle, who is running against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Intrepid media did not produce the O'Donnell ad. "It's like a Chinese copy of an iPod: it steals the form, shape and packaging, but doesn't really work the same way," says one Republican source familiar with ad production. Both ads are attack ...
Washington in 60 Seconds: Sharron Angle Comes Courting Lobbyists
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyGood morning, fellow Capitolists! Have you missed your morning roundup of things you didn't know when you woke up? In honor of your fearless leaders' return to Capitol Hill next week and the barn-burning 2010 election season, we're relaunching "Washington in 60 Seconds" until the political season slows down, or until we tire of waking before dawn. Until then, here's what's cooking today in politics and in the Capitol: - Ms. Angle Going to Washington. After hammering Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as "the godfather of lobbyists" for taking more than $500,000 this cycle from corporations' ...
Rand Paul in Kentucky: Campaign 2010's Most Important Senate Contest
By David Corn - Politics DailyThe other day, I was wondering which of the 37 Senate races underway at the moment is the most important. The one in Nevada? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could be booted out of the top Senate position by former Republican state assemblywoman Sharron Angle, a Tea Party darling who has called for phasing out Social Security, who has scolded out-of-work workers seeking unemployment benefits as "spoiled," and who is doing all she can to avoid taking questions from mainstream reporters. Or is it the Illinois race? This contest features two weak and flailing candidates; Republican Rep. Mark ...
Sharron Angle: Pregnancy by Rape, Incest Part of 'God's Plan'
By David Knowles - AOL NewsNevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle hasn't been giving too many interviews since winning the Republican primary earlier this month. But a January appearance on the Bill Manders radio show is drawing attention to the candidate's views on the controversial subject of abortion. Here, then, is a transcript of the relevant exchange: Manders: Is there any reason at all for an abortion? Angle: Not in my book. Manders: So, in other words, rape and incest would not be something? Angle: You know, I'm a Christian and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that ...
Harry Reid vs. Sharron Angle: Each Is Vulnerable to Attack -- and Ridicule
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyThe general election race for the Senate in Nevada began about a half-second after Sharron Angle won the Republican nomination, and one thing was immediately clear: This would be a national spectacle even if Harry Reid were not the majority leader of the U.S. Senate. Get ready to re-experience every ill-advised remark Reid has ever made, and get familiar with every odd position Angle has ever taken. Trust me, there is no shortage of either. This is a choice between someone who has said Capitol tourists smell and President Obama has "no Negro dialect," and someone who laments that alcohol is ...
