The other Nevada race you’re not hearing about

Democrat loser says Tea Partyers "greedy" and "ignorant"

From Eric Dondero:

The loss of Tea Party libertarian/conservative Sharron Angle to Harry Reid was very painful for pro-liberty Republicans. However, there was another race in Nevada - a big win for the GOP - that you're not hearing anything about.

Incumbent Democrat Congresswoman Dina Titus was defeated for reelection by hardline Tea Party Republican Joe Heck. Nevada's 3rd CD consists of Las Vegas suburbs south to the Arizona border. The election was very close. Heck prevailed with 48.2% to Titus at 47.4%.

This was one of the most targetted races in the entire country on both sides.

From Fox 5 News:

LAS VEGAS -- The race for Congressional District 3 was decided by less than 2,000 votes when Republican Joe Heck ousted freshman Rep. Dina Titus.

As Titus gets ready to return to Congress for the lame duck session, Heck prepares to take over the seat in January.

"We've been given the opportunity to govern," Heck said. "We're not going to squander that opportunity."

Heck said the first thing on his agenda is to focus on the economy and try to bring jobs back to Nevada.

"We've got to go through all the unreasonable regulations that have been passed over the last two years," he said. "Things that take away from the bottom line of small businesses, because every dollar from their bottom line is one less dollar for a pay raise or the next hire."

The incumbent though, is expressing nothing but sour grapes, even making derogatory statements to describe her Tea Party opponents. Continuing:

[Titus said] "there's a real tsunami across this country of greed and anger and ignorance, so we got to fight back."
