On Monday, U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle said she was ready to start answering some questions from reporters, something she’s been dodging since she won the Republican primary June 8. (My own list of unreturned calls and e-mails has now reached double-digits). Here’s Angle, quoted by Politico from an interview on her favorite media network.
“We have been staffing up for over one month and we’ve also been building our war chest,” Angle said Monday night during an interview with Fox Business Network. “We’re ready to go to war with this communication problem that we have.”
Sadly, less than a day later, Angle was once again literally running away from reporters seeking to ask her questions. This time, it was U.S. Rep. Dean Heller‘s comments contradicting Angle, who has said unemployed workers are spoiled because of unemployment benefits (which Angle, unlike Heller, opposes extending).
Last time, Angle ran away from my 8NewsNow colleague Nathan Baca, who was trying to figure out what she meant when she said people would look to “Second Amendment remedies” if Congress didn’t change.
Perhaps somebody should tell Angle that you don’t win a war by running away from the enemy; you win a war by confronting the enemy. Then again, if Angle’s enemy is reporters who simply want a U.S. Senate candidate to explain to her constituents her views on the issues, then perhaps there’s a larger problem.

How does anyone take this woman seriously?
“We’re ready to go to war with this communication problem that we have.”
I’m confused by this statement from Sharron Angle, Steve.
Does she mean to imply she and her entire camp are at war with…herself/themselves?
Sounds like a political Jonestown mass suicide or something.
