Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has admitted that work remains to be done on Nevada GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle’s campaign against Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid.
“We continue to work with them, but it’s a work in progress,” Cornyn told the Hotline on Thursday.
“We’ve been working with her campaign,” Cornyn said. “We’re still working it ….While running for election is not rocket science, it does require knowledgeable people. It does require some discipline and that’s always a struggle for any first time candidate. While she’s not a first time candidate, I think when you’re running against the incumbent Majority Leader, this is the, it’s the Super Bowl and they’re gonna come at you with everything they’ve got and it would be a challenge for anybody to withstand the negative attacks.”
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Reid an edge of 44.0%-43.1%, thanks in large part to recent Angle missteps.
