Reid Ad: He Saved 22,000 Jobs — Angle Wouldn’t Have (VIDEO)

A new ad from Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) attacking his opponent Sharron Angle (R-NV) on jobs.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has a new ad out, touting Reid’s efforts to secure bank loans for City Center in Las Vegas when the company was falling on hard times — and slamming Sharron Angle for saying in a radio interview that she wouldn’t have done anything.

“Reid saved 22,000 jobs,” the announcer says. “But Sharron Angle wouldn’t have saved City Center.”

The ad also shows video of Angle saying, “As your U.S. Senator, I’m not in the business of creating jobs.” The announcer then says: Sharron Angle’s just too extreme

The TPM Poll Average gives Angle a lead of 45.9%-41.7%.
