• Is Mike Wiley Just Your Average Blowhard or Is He Actually Delusional?

  I was leaning towards the whole "Mike Wiley is angry shtick" as just that -- an act to drum up some interest in a former talk-radio guy without a job and no prospect of remotely coming close to double digits in the GOP U.S. Senate primary.  But I think [...]

• Brian Sandoval Needs to Roll Up His Sleeves

  
  If you are going to send out a fund-raiser invite with the following quote:
  "These are trying times that require unique leadership, a roll up your sleeves and fight to get Nevada working again type mentality.  That's why I'm running for Governor." - Brian Sandoval
  Shouldn't [...]

• The Muppets Do Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody

  In Hi-Def no less.  Yeah, it's not that Doug Hampton vs. Senator John Ensign Nightline interview (which can be seen here and here) but you'll probably enjoy this a lot more.

• Nightline's Hampton vs. Ensign Story Set to Run Tonight

  The much-awaited Nightline interview with Doug Hampton rolls tonight.  If it's anything like ABC News' five-page "exclusive" today, it's going to be a rough night for Nevada's John Ensign.  Although I will say since it is Cynthia McFadden doing the interview, and not Martin Bashir, there will probably be' [...]

• Sarah Palin Still Raising Money ... for Obama

  One of the especially tiring aspects of the 2008 presidential election was the "politics of outrage" fundraising letter.  If someone, somewhere said something even remotely bad about a candidate, whether true or not, that candidate would inevitably rush out an email to supporters asking them to show that person who [...]

• Slew of AP Polls Show People Prefer Others To Do the Work

  It must have been poll week for the AP as three made the news today.  Each kind of proves the point that when it comes to actually doing something difficult or making a decision, people prefer others to do it.
  People know what being green is, and [...]

• Mark Amodei's Plaintive Tweet

  Maybe taken by itself it's not so bad, but viewed on a page of tweets Mark Amodei's looked, well, sad.
  Please visit my website to learn more about me. [bit.ly]
  Even sadder, the link Amodei used went to a Facebook post, not his actual website, Amodei4Nevada.com.  Oh well.

  Although it took a month and an RGJ story on webmaster (and deputy chief of staff) Stacy Woodbury, Jim Gibbons' campaign site has finally lurched forward with some corrections and actual content.  Though, stylistically, one could argue it's still hopelessly stuck in the late '90s.

• For Ensign, Maybe ABC's Nightline is Best

  If you are going to be raked over the coals, like Senator Ensign will be by Doug Hampton, there are worse venues than having it run on ABC's Nightline.  Granted, the whole late-night show will be devoted to the story and will be teased throughout ABC's primetime lineup that [...]

  A new interactive site, Redistricting the Nation, looks at the time-honored tradition of gerrymandering; where politicians of both stripes shape districts for their own benefit.  One might say it is even more important than money.
