Reid’s Two Faces Win Janus Award »
“The Janus Award is going to Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada,” gun rights expert John M. Snyder announced here today. “I’m doing this in recognition of the U.S. Senate Majority Leader’s ambivalent commitment to the rights of law-abiding firearm owners.”
A former National Rifle Association editor, Snyder is Public Affairs Director of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Shotgun News last year named him the senior rights activist in [...]
Politicians That Cry Wolf »
Let me be clear I cannot stand when good Americans change who they are and their personality once they become a candidate or become an elected official and call it “Politics,” these individuals are “Sell Outs”, they sell their souls to the devil to become an elected official and they give “politics” a bad name.
Republican Assemblyman Chad Christenson who represents District 13 comes to mind. Back in 2008 Chad told a Review Journal reporter on [...]
Democrat Peterson Swimming with Sharks »
Better late than never?: The LV Sun, 25 days after we broke the story about the Nevada Democratic Caucus endorsing in a contested primary, decided it was worth reporting. Check our 8/27 posting on the Archives.
The issue isn’t just the endorsement, which will serve to kill off Tammy Peterson’s candidacy in the SD—I know, I live in it and work its precincts—it’s also that Sen Steven Horsford is one of the state party’s DNC reps, [...]
Cobb Set to Run for SD 4 »
Republican Assemblyman Ty Cobb will run for State Senate District 4 (Washoe) in 2010. Expect a formal announcement soon.

But with Cobb sitting on $75k, a precinct captain list almost completed, voter name recognition in the district [...]
GOP’s Dream Team II »
Way back on May 14, 2009, I wrote in Muth’s Truths that Nevada Republicans had the potential of fielding a “dream team” of top-tier candidates who could potentially lead the beleaguered party back from the political wilderness.
The team would include Rep. Dean Heller vs. Sen. Harry Reid, federal judge Brian Sandoval vs. Rory Reid for governor and former state Sen. Joe Heck vs. Dina Titus for Congress in District 3.
At the time folks said I [...]
Halseth Declares for AD 13 »

Heck Mulls Jump into CD 3 Race »
Republican gubernatorial candidate Dr. Joe Heck says he is “seriously considering” leaving the governor’s race and entering the race for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District seat currently held by Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nevada).
Heck attended a meeting in Las Vegas today called by former Republican CD 3 candidate John Guedry – who withdrew from the race for family reasons last Friday – and a number of Republican Party leaders who told Heck that his experience and expertise [...]
IFC Hiding Behind Unelected Stakeholders »
“Remember, a public option is a relative term. There’s a public option, there’s a public option, and there’s a public option. And we’re going to look at each of them.” – Sen. Harry Reid
