Senate

  • Can Sharron Angle muster (another) late surge and win big? The Las Vegas Sun takes a look.
  • In case you missed it, Battle ‘10 yesterday looked at the early voting numbers and did some speculating about independent voters and Angle’s many possible paths to victory.
  • The FiveThirtyEight forecast looks pretty good for Angle, too.
  • But Dem operatives last week claimed Team Reid was up by a six points based on internal polling. If Reid should win by that margin, a lot of public pollsters will have some splainin’ to do.
  • Politico observes that Reid has changed tactics. Campaign surrogates are no longer out front doing all the dirty work. Instead, the majority leader is himself attacking Angle.
  • Sharron Angle has been hitting Harry Reid on his votes on gun rights issues with a couple of recent mailers. Angle has an “A” rating with the NRA. Reid has a “B.”
  • The SEIU is spending three-quarters of a million dollars to help Reid.
  • Some Nevada business owners are using their signs to help un-elect Reid.
  • Do Nevada’s rugged individualists see government a help or a hindrance? The L.A. Times has a piece on one of the many distinctions between Angle and Reid.
  • One of the interesting stories of this race are the many crossover endorsements for Reid. Here’s another. This one is old news, though you wouldn’t know it from the story.
  • The National Taxpayers Union Campaign Fund (NTUCF), the political action arm of the 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU), has endorsed Angle. No surprise there.
  • Reid says he does not need to “man up.”

House

  • With Dina Titus outspending him two-to-one, Joe Heck is getting some much needed help and holding his own.
  • Heck reportedly gave the most passionate, rousing speech last night at a Republican Jewish Coalition function held at the Venetian. His remarks on Israel and criticisms of the White House administration on that issue were particularly well received.
  • The R-J did a nice profile piece on Heck, including a story about his family’s hardships after his father, a grocer in Long Island, was shot in a store robbery.

Governor

  • The RGA hits both father and son in this mailer for Republican Brain Sandoval.
  • Nobody is talking about the governor’s race in Nevada, though. The general consensus is that it is a “done deal,” and all conversation centers on the Senate and House races.
