Lowden Stood Up by Reno Mayor?
RENO, NV
"We had a nice friendly chat and he said he wanted to come over and have a beer so we'll get a raincheck from him," Republican US Senate Candidate Sue Lowden said.

US Senate Candidate Sue Lowden waited more than an hour at South Reno's Flowing Tide. But with the beer glasses low and the bill paid, Reno Mayor Bob Cashell still hadn't shown.

The public appearance would have followed Cashell reportedly saying he believes Sharron Angle will defeat Lowden in the Republican primary.

And in the wake of questions about whether Lowden's campaign RV violates contribution laws, Cashell reportedly criticized Lowden's campaign, saying: "she's suicidal," "suicidal Sue."

"He was probably misquoted and I know the mayor for years and I know him very well and I know he's a supporter of my campaign."

Cashell had endorsed Lowden, but admitted to participating in a fund-raising event for Harry Reid, which Cashell had said was non-partisan.
Lowden says there's no need for Cashell to say he's sorry for his recent remarks.

"He and I go way back and he and I are going to have a beer together and we're friends."

Republicans want to vote for republican candidates but don’t seem to have a good candidate to vote for. Suicidal Sue comes out like Palin. Sharron Angle is to far right. Suicidal Sue doesn’t know the issues so she makes things up as she goes just like Palin. All three campaign on that “No New Taxes” pledge but neither addresses if the tax structure is fair nor offer ideas how to make the tax structure fairer.

Cashell: another "good old boy" politician who needs to be voted out. He really believes Harry Reid is good for Nevada? Can anybody say: Sue Lowden, RINO?

It seems like only yesterday that Sue Lowden was a lock in November. When your only hope is Sharron Angle, you might as well throw in the towel.
