That and other epithets are hurled at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid by GOP opponent Danny Tarkanian in a pitch for money mailed recently. I don't believe he accuses Reid of being involved in 9/11 or the Kennedy assassination, but you get the point.
By the way, one thing Reid may' [...]
This partial transcript of Alan Stock's KXNT interview Monday morning with Sen. John Ensign was helpfully provided by the Nevada News Bureau:

Perhaps the state's most prominent Republican campaign operatives -- Sig Rogich and Pete Ernaut -- are supporting Democratic Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto for re-election. They are on an Encore fundraiser next month, along with some prominent Democrats, including the last two governors from the party -- Richard Bryan and [...]
He's also the national committeeman for the GOP and was recruited by the RNC to disgorge its talking points today in a conference call with reporters. List said Reid will "pay a price" next year for his role.
I have posted the audio at right.
[...]Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tells Homeland Security boss to cancel a FEMA exercise (nuclear bomb simulation on the Strip). I'd bet Janet Napolitano listens -- or already has.
The letter is at right.
' [...]Here's a series of Tweets I sent from the first forum in the 2010 Senate race as nine GOP candidates gathered at the Railroad Pass Casino:
First 2010 U.S. Senate debate with GOPers in Henderson about to start. Snow White and dwarves here. Like to say electricity in air. Can't.
Now saying' [...]
Yes, that's what happened today. Hoping to capitalize on the phantom congressional districts in stimulus reporting story (first discovered by yours truly two weeks ago), GOP Senate contender Tarkanian announced a web ad today attacking Harry Reid. The semi-clever ad uses an X-Files motif to lampoon Reid for the phantom [...]
The petition was filed on behalf of the national SOS (Save Our Secret Ballot) campaign. I have posted the filing with the other SOS (Secretary of State) at right.
This will keep the unions busy....
[...]He can. Really, he can.
Or so a Sandoval for Governor fundraising invite would have you believe. Sandoval, who has been seen as a moderate vulnerable to Mike Montandon and Jim Gibbons on the right, is being feted by some very conservative folks, including at least two members of the Reno [...]
So claims a mail piece arriving Friday in the North using Harrah's executive Jan Jones' hyperbolic claim of saving 31,000 jobs -- now the word is "protect" -- that was first used in a Southern Nevada piece posted elsewhere on this blog. The issue is Reid's effort to insert a' [...]
That's the initiative that would ban abortion and impose restrictions on end-of-life decisions. The legal docs are posted at right.
Plaintiffs include longtime local writer Emmily Bristol, who has been married to her high school sweetheart for 12 years and is 12 weeks pregnant.
“Supporters of the so-called ‘Personhood Initiative’ intend this [...]
The respected Pew Center on the States prepared a report looking at other states besides stricken California that are hurting disproportionately. Not a lot new here for Nevadans who have been following this, but more proof, based on some measurements the Pew folks used, that we are down and not [...]
That's right Jim and Dawn Gibbons are back together -- but don't get carried away, folks; it's just for one night, as special guest speakers for an anti-drug awareness foundation on Dec. 9. The headline was just irresistible; the cause is very worthy.
The event is at the home of Sierra' [...]
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is powerful, determined, close to the president, helped elevate an Hispanic to the Supreme Court, saved jobs in the gaming industry, supported green jobs with T. Boone Pickens, backs the military, loves and helps cops and backs education. And on the seventh day....
That's the message [...]
That's what South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint said Tuesday night during a conference call on Senate races around the country. I have posted the audio file at right -- the quality is not great -- and below are emails from the SCF and the Sue Lowden campaign about the call:
November [...]
A memo prepared for the Sue Lowden for U.S. Senate campaign by Robert Uithoven, who is managing the race, declares that the Tuesday elections bode well for her candidacy. I am not sure I agree with some of the conclusions -- including the apples to oranges comparison with Barack Obama's' [...]
Sarah Palin's dad wrote a letter backing little Tark and the campaign sent out an email with a picture of the entire Palin clan (alas, no Levi) and a pitch to contribute. Here's Chuck Heath's letter to Nevadans:
FROM THE DESK OF CHUCK HEATH
Hello Nevadans,
My family and I would like to [...]
Secretary of State Ross Miller surely will raise a boatload of money at Larry Ruvo's place in Glenbrook come Dec. 10. So I guess he's running for re-election then?
The save-the-date card is at right.
