Fox News called Senate Majority Leader Reid the winner of his re-election bid against Republican Sharron Angle. However, I am told by the Angle camp the following:
FROM THE CAMPAIGN:
“We just had prayer vigil in a private suite and her people are furious at FOX for making the call with 30 percent in. They [campaign staffers] shouted ‘Count the votes’.”
UPDATE 1 -
An insider in the Angle Campaign suite at the Venitian says to me:
“Spirits are up. They are fighting mad and don’t want Sharron to concede!”
UPDATE 2 -
Angle campaign private suite: “Reid never got above 46 percent of the vote and tonight he gets 51 percent? Ashjian and “none of the above” got less than 3 percent combined. Something fishy is going on.”
UPDATE 3 -
I just met with two campaign people who said that Angle and her generals and her lawyers are huddling. They have not yet decided to concede. Campaign says that the gap between Reid and Angle is now down to 24,000 from 36,000 previously. “People’s spirits up. Hope is not squashed,” says one insider with the campaign.
