• Nate Silver has now given Rory Reid a 1% chance of winning Nevada’s gubernatorial race.
  • Former Nevada Congressman and Washington lobbyist Jim Santini, who ran against Reid in the 1986 senate race, has joined the group Republicans for Reid. The group now totals 225.
  • Meanwhile, Sharron Angle is scheduled to meet with Republican leaders today in Washington, D.C., to talk strategy and, of course, to raise money.
  • Harry “Did He Really Just Say That” Reid told The Hill that Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons will safely win the general election against GOP nominee Christine O’Donnell and then gushed, “I’m going to be very honest with you – Chris Coons, everybody knows him in the Democratic caucus. He’s my pet. He’s my favorite candidate.” Both Moe Lane at Redstate and Allahpundit at HotAir comment on the weird use of the word “pet” in reference to Coons.
  • Sharron Angle was mentioned, twice, in this Reason piece on the Tea Party. The issues raised lie at the heart of the big questions about Nevada’s senate race and whether Angle’s brand of limited-government conservatism is what (enough) voters want.
  • The Nevada State Democratic Party has filed a federal elections complaint against Sharron Angle and her former primary opponent Danny Tarkanian. The complaint alleges Tarkanian violated Federal Election Commission regulations by campaigning for Angle while also running a political action committee against Harry Reid. The complaint also says Tarkanian has released ads without the legally required political disclaimer. Tarkanian called the complaint “baseless” and said he has only communicated with Angle or her staff briefly since the June primary. However, Tarkanian did back out of a speaking engagement at an Angle event last night.
