Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
Most interesting thing you heard or read about Nevada politics this week?
Odds Sandoval relents and endorses Laxalt, and why?
For fun: What do the following people do if they lose? Laxalt, Heller, Roberson, Rosen, Sisolak.
Some great, funny, brutal stuff from my insiders on what the losers will do; consensus that at most Sandoval does a tepid endorsement of Laxalt. My take: He could do a “I support the GOP ticket”...

Most interesting thing you read/heard this week in Nevada politics/government?
Thoughts on the RGJ poll?
Thoughts on the Aaron Ford revelations? How damaging on a scale from flesh wound to fatal?
Insiders believe (as do I) that it’s inconceivable Ford did not get out in front of these revelations easily available to an oppo researcher. Some think (and it’s hard to argue) that he may need a blue wave to win.
Some...

3. Does the Guinn Center study change anything on Q3?
4. Who is the person a politician should least want mad at him or her in Nevada? Who are the next two?
Praise for that "spineless senator" ad, skepticism the Guinn Center report will affect much (I think it helps the NO side a lot more.) and Sheldon name-checked as person to be feared...

Your take on the Sisolak-Vermillion-Laxalt-Gentile letter story? Good for Sisolak because sends message or good for Laxalt because raises the issue? Or neither? Your take and feel for that race right now.
Somewhat anemic response from the insiders this week -- I guess insiders take vacations, too! But some good stuff nevefrtheless.

Most interesting thing you read or heard this week?
SCOTUS: Any thoughts on impact on 2018 elections here? Too early to tell? Or not?
Your thoughts on Dennis Hof: Does he chew up enough scenery to be a problem for the GOP this year here? Or does it subside?
Hof will be a problem, my insiders, think, but for everyone. (I agree). Too early on SCOTUS – I still think edge is to the Dems.
Oh, and by the way, you are among...

Most interesting thing you have read or heard this week?
If you saved up reactions from the primary, let me hear them.
Does the family separation/detention issue stick until the general, and who does it help/hurt here?
Rank the chances of these happening in November: Dems get supermajorities in both houses; Ryan Bundy gets 5 percent of the vote; Dems win more than half of constitutional offices; Danny Tarkanian wins...

This week:
All about predictions and the two usual questions.
My insiders actually are split on the gov’s race. I actually understand it. Very difficult to read, could go either way despite Steve Sisolak’s financial, structural advantages. One way to look at it: He brought in marquee national talent and nuked Chris Giunchigliani, so he should win. Another way: If he doesn’t, what a waste of money and GOP confidence will grow.
And:

What is the most impressive campaign you have seen this cycle? Least impressive?
Agree or disagree: NV Energy has been impressive so far in its difficult bid to defeat Question 3, getting a coalition beyond itself, recruiting chambers of commerce, getting the gov to go Swiss.
Lots of love for Steve Sisolak’s campaign, but general acknowledgement he...
