From a front-page news article in today's New York Times: "The Tea Party candidate in Nevada, Sharron Angle, has improved the odds that Senator Harry Reid, the leader of Democratic majority, hangs onto his seat."
I understand this is what passes for conventional wisdom, but what is the evidence for it? At least three recent public polls (Rasmussen, Fox, and a Las Vegas newspaper) have shown Ms. Angle with a narrow lead, and even the Times itself reported earlier this week that "Mr. Reid finds himself trapped in the race he has, in many ways, always feared."
