Lawrence O'Donnell and Chuck Todd Review the Reed / Angle Debate

O'Donnell: "What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Stay in Vegas Tonight"

Lawrence O'Donnell and Chuck Todd review the debate between current Senator Harry Reed of Nevada and Sharron Angle in their closely contested contest to see who will become the next Senator for that State.

Nevada currently leads the U.S. in the highest unemployment rates and most home foreclosures.

Most news agencies score this debate between the candidates as either a draw 65-55% for Angle but I have to disagree. Besides her vague answers to the moderators questions, outlandish policy ideals and utter lack of understanding on how to properly debate there is just something that sets me on edge about Angle. I often wonder if she has 3 or 4 shots of Grey Goose before appearing on camera but every time I hear her voice and how she speaks it makes me want to buy a Milton Bradley Home Castration Game and play it with myself. If this is (by her own account of being a career teacher) the quality of educators they have in Nevada then there is no reason it is in trouble.

In video #2 Lawrence interviews the current Tea Party candidate Scott Ashjian that was left out of this exchange, and in video #3 he speaks to is former Senatorial candidate Sue Lowden who if not having made the infamous "chicken for health care" remark could have by most accounts handily defeated Reed.

On A side Note:

Special Congrats to Lawrence for landing the 10pm slot and getting The Last Word.

I have been a long time fan of his style and intelligence not only as a journalist but as an author, actor, politician and TV/Movie Producer. I often watched nightly hoping that Chris Mathews, Rachael Maddow or Kieth Olberman would need a day off and Lawrence would be subbing for them.

Again, Congratulations Lawrence. It couldn't have happened to a better person. I am already a regular viewer .
