who is in a race with harry reid. why are they presenting a challenge to the man who has held the seat for 24 years? let's ask michael barone, the political analyst for the washington examiner and a fox news contributor. michael, i want to ask you, give us a reaction to sharron angle's comments and what she said to me a moment ago? >> well, governor, she's obviously not the smoothest candidate out there, but she's making some arguments against harry reid that have really resonated with the voters in nevada and with voters nationally, which is that we've seen a vast increase in the size and scope of government. from the obama democrats and mr. reid is the leader of the democratic party in the senate. he has supported all the moves and he's now in the position of having supported a lot of policies that are unpopular and not produced the good check results that the president and economic advisors predicted. >> we've got a map that highlights the tea party candidates. we want to zero in on nevada. tell us which of the cou

harry reid has a long -- harry reid has a long history of saying ridiculous things and getting an way with them. if you are on the receiving end of you a big wet kiss from harry reid it has to be the worst moment you can in this political year. >> sean: this is u.s.a. today tea party wins, fuel a civil war within the gop and they got christine o'donnell face on the cover this is today's edition of the paper. if there is any civil war going on we were touching on the surface. democrats don't want to be seen with harry reid or barack obama. he comes to town they . sorry. that's the only day i can't make it. they are running away all these ads we were showing last night. >> beam in the democratic party scheduling visits to combat zones so they don't have to be present when obama show up. i think they would be -- would rather to be photographed with hugo chavez than obama. the attempt to portray all of the people in the tea party as extremists. people remember obamacare, auto bailout, stimulus, bank bailout and the financial regulation. on four of those, the polls overwhelmingly show that

he's been called harry reid's pet. so he's gonna promote the big spending out of control agenda of harry reid. and he's gonna support bills like cap and trade that are going to continue to kill jobs. they are trying to paint a picture of me. what those statements are about is in my 20s i had a new found faith and going on these shows i looked at it as a minute opportunity. that is what i did in my 20s that was a long time ago. my faith has matured. as a u.s. senate candidate my promise to the people of delaware is, it is the constitution by which i will determine how i vote on all legislation coming across my desk. i have my personal beliefs but our constitution defends our right for the voters to disagree with me. that's the right i'm going to defend. >> sean: your opponent apparently is claiming he offered to debate you a number of times. how many debates are you willing to do with him? >> as many as i can fit into my schedule. i'm not afraid of debating him. the letter that he sent over, he said of the 15 debates th

harry reid did, it was video. so they had a videotape of harry reid being asked these questions. they played that first and of course, the moderator said, nobody make any noises at all, any kind, until it's over with out of respect for the candidates and the most part the angle supporters were very, very quiet during harry reid thing and of course his supporters had a few screams, yells, hollers on his behaviorlf. at least charlotsharron angle s in person. and being rude little pigs and they were in the back the room. and then the moderators who did not have the guts that you and i would have, ed, to control the situation, said, oh well, if you guys make noise, it just takes more time away from sharron angle. what did they do? they made more noise all of the harry reid supporters. it was completely ridiculous. and i've seen the pictures of how the brawl supposedly started. and what happened was, at the very end when sharron was still speaking, still speaking, understand thats of people tried to walk out from harry

harry reid in the real clear average, she portrays her he have is as a political outsider. she was looking for help from the beltway establishment. >> when you go from a primary seven employees and now into the multi-million dollar race of your life, you have to have people that can help. this is a movement of mainstream america and yes, they're ready for new people to come who really understand what we, the people, want from our government and that is less government regulation and lower taxes. >> answeringle knows what it's like to be a tight contest. she lost a congressional race in 2006 by less than half a percentage point and expects the race against harry reid to be very close and tough in the closing weeks. >> bret: you've made a point to focus on senator reid's record and some of the things he's been saying. he's made a point to paint you as extreme. here is what he said in a recent interview with fox. >> someone that wants to phase out medicare, get rid of social security, someone that wants to privatize the veterans administration, someone who wants to get rid of

i'm worried about harry reid's seat. i don't think the lead over sharron angle is good it is as small as it is. if there is sanger amongst independents and low enthusiasm among democrats he could be in trouble. >> in 1968 you saw the challenge by gene mccarthy against then president johnson. even though he didn't beat him in new hampshire he sent a signal. johnson was out of the race and bobby kennedy was in the race. i see evidence of people wanting to buck the establishment pretty much all over the country. >> i see 1994 all over again. the big difference is in 1994 the republican party began the year and spent the entire year on the same team. there was no real difference within the republican party between the establishment and the party base. the assumption of the party base is if we elect a republican, any republican, it will be good. the party base got wise to the establishment's trick. you are seeing the same level of anger toward the democratic party, the same resentment toward a democratic president. it is dire

jenna: she's also stuck to a few court issues when it comes to attacking harry reid. let's take a look at her ads and again i'll get your reaction. >> nevada's unemployment rate has jumped from 4 percent, to 14 percent. home values have dropped by half. worst of all, there are over 195,000 nevadans out of work today, with no sign of things getting better. so for nevada, how much further can we go. jenna: there it is, it's the economy and we know that nevada's economy is not doing well right now. you're in vegas, john. if you had to gamble, whose ads are most effective, who ends up pulling this out in the end? >> it's going to be very close. and those ads, about the economy, if sharron angle can keep doing that and american crossroads, karl rove's groups, has been helping her with complimentary ads, 70 percent of the polls say economy is the number one issue and nevada's economy is maybe the worst economy in the country. most foreclosures, highest unemployment rate. they are blaming, people are blaming harry reid or at least enough people are blaming hay reid and sharr

is this about harry reid in nevada? is that the idea behind it? because obviously the work of miss angle there has put mr. reid back into the race when he didn't have a chance when he was facing the chicken lady. he can win that and go back to his seat if he doesn't make a major mistake. what my worry is this decision has been made to protect a couple of senators with the expectation, don't worry, the polling shows voters understand we're with them on this issue even though we do not presently have the guts to even try it in the fashion that nancy pelosi is going w on the other hand, if the house is willing to go and try this thing, especially with suspension and go for the three-quarters vote, there is something at least symbolic, there is a willingness to show off the new automobile and see if you can actually drive it around the block or if it's made out of wood. >> at least the house members would have a vote. this is my position i voted on. >> democrats who were seeking seats held by republican members could say they voted against this. this

senate majority leader harry reid just lost new york's jr. senator kristen kill louisiana brand, publicly praising her as hot. now some feminists are calling him sexist. you will hear from one of them after this break. then there is this. not a good day for spectators at a car race in brazil. we have now learned what caused this stadium to suddenly collapse. and president obama finding himself in an awkward position when he was confronted by some angry town hallers, many of them his supporters. we'll show you how the president responded to this, for example. >> i'm one of your middle class americans, and quite frankly i'm exhausted, i'm exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the man of change that i voted for and deeply disappointed with where we are right now. doing t shipping. man, it would be a lot easier if we didn't have to weigh 'em all.

harry reid wasn't even there. he had previously answered set questions, they had been given to him before, he answered by videotape. they played that videotape. sharron angle was there. clearly reed sent some 800 people in there. but both sides were equally unruly. certainly, angle who was live, was getting heckled and then at the end as she was leaving, there was this scuffle that broke out and there was some astonishing pictures on the "las vegas sun's" website of this man throwing a fist right at a woman who was apparently really bothering him and trying to get by him. who started it, who knows, who cares. but this is emblematic of this race, chuck, the kind of passions that are going on both sides. and it's not, go star sharron or go harry. it's kill sharron and kill harry. the animosity out there on this state toward these candidates is just astonishing. >> vaughn, every cycle, we say, it's never going to get stranger than this, than that. this cycle of course, every election cycle takes on its own personalit
