MONEY:
Ralston Nugget- "If you don't believe Sharron Angle knows how to use FOX News to fundraise, her campaign tells me she raised $200,000 from those who saw that withering interview Sean Hannity conducted with her on Friday. The Angleites also claim they had one of their best online fundraising weeks of the campaign.

The Reid folks are hopeful Angle is having money problems because she has changed her ad buys recently, placing and then cancelling orders, I am told. But the Angle folks insist they are going week to week to keep Team Reid guessing. It's working."

BELTWAY:
- The White House's new attacks on House Minority Leader John Boehner may call unwanted attention to Harry Reid's less desirable record. Though WH PressSec Robert Gibbs recently portrayed Leader Boehner as "especially" indebted to lobbyists, Harry Reid raised cash from lobbyists 2 to Boehner's 1.

ON MESSAGE:
- Reid campaign continues to depict Angle as confused, amateur, and self-contradicting, and she helps him.

THOUGHTS:
So far, neither candidate appears in their ads--- because both are very unpopular, albeit for different reasons. Recent Reuters article agrees:

"It's a very strange race because neither of one them is particularly likable," said University of Nevada Las Vegas Associate Professor David Damore.

Interesting bedfellows: Rove and Angle. ? Rove's efforts through Crossroads GPS have carried Angle.


Sharron Angle doesn't have so many supporters as Harry Reid has enemies.
