Imagine a legislative session that can’t even get started because leadership is in limbo and not all legislators are deemed to be…legislators.
This is not a fevered pundit’s imagination. And while the election isn’t over yet, the possibilities are, alas, virtually endless.
I have already shown you that the Assembly, now 27-15 to the Democrats, could go Republican or 21-21. And there also are now two Democratic candidates who have been declared ineligible – Jake Holder and Meghan Smith, both in...
The precursor to Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign in THE MOST IMPORTANT STATE IN THE NATION has filed as a political action committee in Nevada.
The filing last week comes as Ready for Hillary staffers have been trying help Democrats this cycle here and elsewhere.
The group has tabbed veteran operative Megan Jones, a former Harry Reid aide, as its local agent.

This is going to be a bad election for the Democrats. The only question is how bad. They are going to lose the governor’s race and almost certainly will lose the lieutenant governor’s race and the state’s only swing congressional district. If I had to guess now, none of those races will even be close, perhaps all will be double...
The lieutenant governor’s race has been the big disappointment of the general election season.
Buoyed by the name recognition he received in his spirited primary with Sue Lowden and possessing a huge financial advantage, GOP state Sen. Mark Hutchison has run a “No Apologies” general election. Hutchison regularly says he “won’t apologize” for living the American Dream or for being supported by Gov. Brian Sandoval.
As if anyone asked him to be contrite.
He has used his money edge -- it will end...
