Defeated U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle may want to look into buying a house in Boulder City where she would, apparently, be among friends.

Angle and many Republicans did at least 10 percentage points better in Boulder City during the Nov. 2 election than in the rest of Clark County and the state, complete election results released last week show.
