viagra all of the time i think is far ickier and to richard's point, the poll eye think it was the cnn/"time" poll showed sharron angle up by two with harry reid but 10% of those voters were picking none of the above. there is a clear -- that's a clear statement from nevada voters who are grappling with the nation's highest unemployment rate at 14.5%. their homes are being foreclosed on, they're leading the nation in that. i mean they need real answers right now. and this stuff is nonsense chatter. i agree with richard. this is something that does not suit sharron angle well. >> well, it gets worse. here it is in an event last week in muskegon, nevada. sharron angle got a question about muslims wanting to take over the united states. here's part of her answer. >> we're talking a militant terrorist situation which i believe isn't a widespread thing. but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been discussing it. my thought are these. first of all, dearborn, michigan, and frankford, texas, are on american soil, and under constitutional law. not sharia law. >> absolute nonsense, richard. there's no sharia law in the united states.

richard, thanks so much. interesting stuff from new jersey. sharron angle and harry everything from spending to social security. the latest attack ad shows how tough this race really is. >> here's the kicker, reid actually voted to use taxpayer dollars to pay for viagra and convicted child molesters and sex offenders. what else could you ever need to know about harry reid? >> luke russert covers capitol hill for nbc news and also covering the conversation john rolston. you know nevada politics like the back of your hand. give us some context of this. what exactly is sharron angle saying and is it true? >> well, she's talking about a provision that has gotten some play all over the place, chris, that was in the health care bill. and she's putting it in an ad in which she makes a rath of charges against harry reid, including bringing up illegal immigrati immigration, which she has used, i think, fairly effectively in the last few weeks, even though some of the claims have been debunked. this is a very, very nasty race going back and forth. reid has had a series of ads

past is we've got one candidate, harry reid, arguing the sort of traditional democratic point of view. but sharron angle is not arguing a traditional republican view. richard victory pointed this out to me yesterday, the conservative richard vigory, the tea party represents people who want to roll the clock back. they don't want to accept what's out there now. they want to repeal it. they want to go back to a very different form of government and it's a very different argument. as i say, i think she's capturing the spirit of the times, or at least a fairly significant portion of the population. >> eliot, do voters want to hear facts anymore? or are we so polarized now that it just about who are you supporting and kind of siding with them? >> i think they're voting for a pure ideological perspective, basically saying neither side is going to tell me the truth. that's a very sad state of affairs, of course, but we in fact had richard in our show this evening and he was saying this is in an interchange with him, this has been a fourth iteration of a republican revolution. and really as david just said, the public, those supporting this, and i think it's a rat

harris. he said that at a press conference announcing murder charges against officer richard chrisman. he said just the facts. what is your -- if you believe, again, as you say -- and you wouldn't be representing him -- that this officer is wrongly accused, what is his version of the story? >> his version of the story is that this man was absolutely a threat and that he came at him with a weapon. he didn't try to leave the trailer. he was inside the trailer with a bicycle. he didn't try to leave the trailer on his bicycle. i don't know where officer vallejo came up with that fairy tale but it's ridiculous. >> you informed the mother of the charges and you have put this in the spotlight. are you satisfied with the more serious charges now? >> absolutely. i think they were merited. i think the facts speak for themselves. and the idea was here to make sure that the phoenix police department conducted the proper investigation, provided said investigation to the county attorney so he could file the appropriate charges in this case. and not only did we obtain appropriate charges, we obtained
