Nevada Republican Sharron Angle has released a new 30-second TV ad that aims to put the spotlight back on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose Senate campaign has focused its efforts on defining Angle as too extreme.

"Harry Reid says he does more for Nevada," Angle says, before noting Nevada's 14 percent unemployment rate and that it has the highest rates of foreclosures and bankruptcy. "Harry Reid has done more, and it's time for us to say, 'Stop doing it, we can't stand any more.'"

As the party's leader in the upper chamber, Reid is at the top of Republicans' target list of Democratic incumbents. Angle, who won a competitive primary, has led Reid in all but a handful of polls since December, but the last two public polls show Reid's heavy media buys may be paying off.

A recent Mason-Dixon survey found Reid up 7 points, and he now leads by 2 points in the RCP Average. Still, Reid has yet to hit the 50 percent mark in any polling this cycle, and any incumbent -- especially one running for a fifth term -- polling below that should be considered vulnerable.

Much to the Reid campaign's delight, Angle has provided some off-message distractions of her own. Before this ad was released, the latest picture of Angle was her quickly leaving her own press conference without answering any questions, even as the press followed Angle to her car. It played neatly into Democrats' argument that Angle isn't fit for the Senate.

After a robust second quarter of fundraising, however, Angle will likely be able to launch more tone-setting ads like this one for the general election.
