The surprise resignation of Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) has major implications for another Nevada Republican: former assemblywoman Sharron Angle.
Angle, who lost last fall to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, was planning to run for Rep. Dean Heller?s seat when the Republican congressman ran for Senate next year. Now that Ensign is stepping down, Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) is likely to appoint Heller to the Senate. That means a special election for his House seat. Depending on how the election law is interpreted, things look better or worse for Angle.
