Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) is now firing back at his Republican opponent Sharron Angle, after she’s made a series of attacks on him for living at the Ritz Carlton in Washington. As he points out, Angle often refers to it as a “penthouse” — when it’s actually on the second floor.
From a friendly interview with Ed Schultz on MSNBC:
SCHULTZ: You grew up in a shack.
REID: Well, it…
SCHULTZ: No plumbing, right? Now she’s saying that you’re a rich man. How do you feel about that?
REID: Yes, as I — Ed, I live in Searchlight, Nevada. I have a home in Searchlight, Nevada. I stay in Washington, D.C. in a one bedroom apartment and my penthouse is on the second floor, how do you like that? A penthouse on the second floor.
The TPM Poll Average gives Angle a lead of 48.5%-47.4%.
