Sharron Angle’s old website
The Harry Reid Campaign stuck up an anti-Sharron Angle campaign, which was basically just a replication of the Campaign website that Sharron Angle took down upon her nomination. Sharron Angle then sent a cease and desist order claiming copyright ownership.
She does have a point, or sorts, with this one.
The Angle campaign also claimed that by leaving fill-in boxes for e-mail addresses intact, the Reid campaign was in a position to gain contact information of Angle’s supporters who were deceived into thinking this was actually her site. Angle spokesman Jerry Stacy said in a press release: “Make no mistake, the Reid campaign was forced to take this site down because they were breaking several laws and trying to deceive the voters.”
Which is why the Harry Reid campaign removed them when they took the website down before putting the website back up. We’ll see where Sharron Angle goes from there, I suppose.

I have a theory about running for political office. A candidate should go about laying out his own scandal: something relatively serious but not too much so in his or her background, sprung at the opportune time, which will be rolled over and beaten to death and lead to something of “Scandal Fatigue”, rebound against his or her opponent — even if it gives the candidate a sheen of a “Used Car Sales person”. It might work with Sharron Angle — dribble out one view or other, and let any new view be an “Old News” as you continue pointing out that Harry Reid is a transactional politician manning the machinery.
