Pathetic? Sharron Angle Begs Third Party Tea Party Candidate to Drop Out of Race

From Sam Stein at the Huffington Post:

On Sunday, embarrassing audio surfaced in the midst of the Nevada Senate race, showing Republican candidate Sharron Angle personally pleading with an official Tea Party candidate, Scott Ashjian, to exit the race.

"I believe you can do some real harm, not to Harry Reid but to me," she said, in a conversation meant to be private but recorded and leaked to the press, most likely by Ashjian's campaign. "I'm not sure you can win and I'm not sure I can win if you're hurting my chance and that's the part that scares me."

Angle, of course, has been mislabeled the "tea party candidate" in this race, but, of course, she's nothing but a Republican.  Stein goes on to discuss the ways in which third party candidates for Senate may affect races across the country.
