Real teabagger could derail Angle's campaign

Getting the popcorn out! From Huffington Post:

Jon Scott Ashjian, Nevada's little known actual "Tea Party" Senate candidate, said this week that not only was he going to stay in the race, he was going to overtake Sharron Angle on his path to victory.

Speaking with the Las Vegas Sun's Jon Ralston, the conservative agitator said that, despite recent negotiations to remove him from the race, the momentum was with him.

-snip-

Things got even weirder this week when Ashjian, Angle and their campaign managers met for their very own summit to discuss forming a unified coalition that would remove Ashjian from the ballot in November. The negotiations were fruitless.

At any rate, Ashjian, who the Wall Street Journal reports has a "Playboy-themed pinball machine in his office, drives a $160,000 black Mercedes with a night-vision system, and carries a pistol under his suit jacket," could indeed play spoiler for the Angle campaign

Fun read:

4. Did the pollsters know there was someone else? And did they include in their polling?

3. Personally, I think that Angle is spoiling her own campaign.
