Duffy of the Cook Political Report said the Senate race is "kind of fascinating" to watch because both Reid and Angle are not popular with Nevada voters and both are prone to gaffes. Reid may be prone to gaffes but his lack of support for the Muslim community center is pure politics. He went with what he thought his constituents wanted to hear just like McCain is doing in AZ. These guys did not get to be in the Senate in their 70s by not playing the political game. Congress needs to have a mandatory retirement age. The saddest part of this race is that Reid can't pull away from a crazy bird like Angle. It suggests a pretty messed up constituency. I think the sun and heat are getting to them.....his constituency that is.

I didn't know that Rand Paul was taking the opposite position from his father. That makes Ron Paul's position even more interesting. KY-Sen: Ron Paul indirectly takes his son to task on Cordoba House Thanksgiving at the Paul House might have just become a bit more interesting. The iconoclastic Republican Congressman Ron Paul fired off a strong broadside directed at what he called the "Sunshine Patriots", people who "are all for freedom, as long as there’s no controversy and nobody is offended." One of those Sunshine Patriots, of course, would be his son Rand, who has joined a number of Republicans in trying to demagogue this particular issue.
