During the primary, she ran as a hard-line ultra-conservative, playing to the Tea Party. Once that ended, she took down her web site and replaced it with one suggesting that she's a moderate.<br /><br />Reid decided to put up a copy of her old web site, on the theory that such data should be preserved and publicly available.<br /><br />Now Angle is suggesting that she <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/07/sharron_angle_were_pursuing_ha.html" rel="nofollow">wants to sue Reid</a> for copyright violation.<br /><br />Yes, definitely. Suing someone to make them stop repeating what you said in the middle of a highly-publicized election is an <i>excellent</i> strategy for burying the story. Please, go ahead and do this. I will make popcorn.
