Sharron Angle, Nevada’s GOP senatorial nominee, was introduced to the Senate Republican conference this afternoon. According to CNN, Angle briefly spoke to the group about her campaign. Sen. John Ensign (R., Nev.) said her presentation was “very positive” and brushed off concerns about Angle’s position on Social Security, calling it “very reasonable… the same [one] I have and have had for years.” (For more about Angle’s views, check out her interview with NRO from Monday.)
Here’s another tidbit from the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
“She said she was going to work hard and looked forward to the opportunity and that was it,” said Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. According to senators, Angle was asked no questions following her brief remarks, which came during a 90-minute lunch. The remarks were geared to an audience of political professionals, and contained no criticism of Reid or detailed discussion of where she stands on the issues. “Definitely it was not the type of speech you would make if you were speaking to the unwashed back home, so to speak,” Isakson said. “It was primarily to say hey to people in her party, to introduce herself.”
Angle also reportedly huddled with Sen. Scott Brown (R., Mass.) about how he won his campaign earlier this year. Here’s little upper chamber intrigue: Ensign, ousted from his leadership perch a year ago, supposedly “went rogue” and didn’t tell GOP leaders that he’d be bringing Angle to the policy lunch.
