Former Nevada state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle raised $14 million over the last three months for her race against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

There's no word about where the money came from, but it's clear that Republicans intend to give Angle enough money to remake her image and mollify some of the disturbing positions she's taken in the past. It no secret that the GOP is taking advantage of its ties to big business interest and the super wealthy to raise money in an effort to win seats in Congress to support their interest. We'll see if the money from the fat cats talks louder than all other considerations.
