State Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson has recruited female candidates in the two critical races next year that will determine if he can change his title.
Both are expected to be unveiled today, sources said.
The first is Becky Harris, whom I previously told you about and who will take on state Sen. Justin Jones, who barely won his seat last cycle. She will have a primary with Vick Gill, a doctor recruited last cycle by Roberson but who abruptly dropped out after it was learned he had...
Good morning, everyone. I spent some time this weekend at the movies (See “Gravity,” dear Flashees) and saw “Runner, Runner,” the Ben Affleck-Justin Timberlake vehicle about a web poker kingpin. The fact that it is not a good movie and may not do well at the box office may be a godsend for the gamers. Folks, this is all but a manifesto AGAINST Internet poker (spoiler alert!) because it argues that cheating can occur and player accounts are not safe. No one, my dear AGA, is going to come out of...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spent 40 minutes on the phone Friday morning with Democratic elected officials, answering questions about the government shutdown and reminding them that those anarchists in the House are holding up everything.
“I think he was trying to explain to people how we got where we are and where we are now,” said state Treasurer Kate Marshall, who was on the call along with every other Democratic constitutional officer, a few lawmakers and local government officials...
Good morning, everyone. “Harry Reid does not want to compromise at all,” Manu Raju, the estimable Politico congressional reporter said this morning on “The Daily Rundown.” And on Reid and John Boehner: “They hate each other.” Well, that all bodes well, n-est-ce pas?
Raju also pointed viewers to this Politico piece on the four feuding leaders. In that story, Reid is said to have called the speaker a “coward” more than once. Worth the click, dear Flashees.
