Nevada Democrats better watch out or someone might start to make fun of them.
It's bad enough that "None of the Above" won the gubernatorial primary. It's worse that the second-place finisher and de facto nominee Bob Goodman celebrated by going to....the Philippines.
And now, two of the other also-rans have let the secretary of state's office know that Goodman plans to withdraw and not run against Gov. Brian Sandoval. Yes, I am serious.
According to emails I have obtained, Stephen Frey, whose...
The wave of outside spending in Nevada's attorney general's race began last year when the State Government Leadership Foundation began an effort to tarnish Secretary of State Ross Miller.
The group has set up a website and ran hundreds of thousands of dollars in ads this year.
Now, the other side has signaled it plans to invest to help Miller -- or perhaps hurt his GOP foe, Adam Laxalt. The Democratic Attorneys General Association, which has set up similar organizations in other states,...
Gov. Brian Sandoval leads Democrat Bob Goodman by 27 percentage points, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey.
Hey, it's Rasmussen, which notoriously tilts Republican, so maybe Goodman actually is closer, and, and, and....
Oh, nevermind.
Bob Goodman, by the way, remains in Asia.
UPDATED, 2:15 PM: Some favorable/unfavorable numbers in the survey.
Sandoval: 69/25
Harry Reid: 36/59
Dean Heller: 49/42
And on approval/disapproval:
President Obama: 44/53
Sandoval: 64/28
The Heller number really...
In the race for governor-in-waiting, Lucy Flores is going up first, with an ad running during World Cup games, including twice during US-Germany later this week.
The ad uses the most famous player in the world and the frenzy over the sport, especially among Hispanics, to begin the process of energizing Latinos behind the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor. The goal (ahem) obviously is to contrast Flores' life story with her GOP foe, Mark Hutchison, who already is being portrayed by the...
Good morning, everyone. We can’t get a national political convention, but Las Vegas can still get the convention it deserves: Next month, the ninth annual gathering of climate change deniers will be held here. The most appropriate venue for The Heartland Institute event is The Las Vegas Review-Journal, but organizers have instead chosen Mandalay Bay. (Maybe because that building, unlike the RJ, has windows and good food?) Perhaps they will be arguing that nothing has happened to the wave pool’s...
Good morning, everyone. I must say that, as ever, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid amuses with his latest crusade. No, not the Kochs, although I am sure that will not abate. I am talking about his epiphany after three and a half decades in DC that the football team’s name is offensive. I suppose this is long-simmering outrage that finally percolated. Reid’s office told me he has never been to a Redskins game. But, it’s clear, he has always loved Indians, except, perhaps, when the gaming...
TONIGHT'S RALSTON REPORTS: We'll see.
DAYS UNTIL GENERAL ELECTION DAY 2014: 139
DAYS UNTIL EARLY VOTING BEGINS: 122
Good morning, everyone. The regular NBC/WSJ poll was released this morning with ominous numbers for----everyone. The president’s rating (41-53 percent) is awful, only topped by the Republican Party (29-45). The Democrats (38-40) are not exactly doing swimmingly, but are vibrant in comparison. The Tea Party (22-41) remains manifestly...
