HP Reports: McConnell: 'I'm Not Going To Nevada' To Campaign With Angle
Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) re-affirmed on Thursday that he will not be heading to Nevada this election cycle to campaign on behalf of Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle. "I am not going to Nevada," the Kentucky Republican said...his decision to forgo a campaign swing through Nevada potentially adds to the narrative that the national Republican Party doesn't know how to deal with the Tea Party candidate.

Already there has been friction between the Nevada Republican and others within the GOP tent. In late July, the Daily Caller quoted Danny Tarkanian -- one of Angle's primary foes -- saying that the other primary opponent, Sue Lowden, was refusing to campaign on Angle's behalf. "At the state convention, they had what they called the Unity Dinner, where they tried to bring the party together, and they asked me and Sue to introduce Sharron Angle to show all of us together," Tarkanian explained. "I went and did it, but Sue didn't show up for it. She wouldn't do it." In an even more bizarre twist, on Thursday, Tarkanian's mother announced that she would campaign on behalf of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to "call out Sharron Angle's extreme and dangerous positions against Nevada's working families."

Hi- Don't see a contact link so I'll leave a quick comment. I'm the founder and owner of All Things Democratic (.com). I'm starting a counter-protest site to organize against the anti-immigrant crowd, www.mexicanteaparty.com. Currently designing the forum and activities calendar. I've designed some support items currently placed in my store (just go to mexicanteaparty.com for now). Will keep you posted. May ask for input if you don't mind. Doug
