Hmm, carry the two, now round, and ... there. The Congressional Budget Office has finally assigned a numerical value to the Harry Reid Government Rollover Health Care Bill of 2009. It's 42. Or $849 billion. Or whatever. Anyway, now "all eyes," as they say in' [...]
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 [...]
WASHINGTON -- Greetings, Early Liners. As the Senate is poised to take up health care reform, it kind of feels like everyone is waiting for the party to start if only the guest of honor – in this case, the bill – would arrive.
For three weeks the nonpartisan Congressional Budget [...]
The 60 Plus Association, which is some thing for wingnut geezers (or should that be geezer wingnuts?), is running ads against several Democrats who voted for the House health care reform bill, including Nevada's very own Dina Titus.

The bad news is that includes approximately 10,000 people in the Silver State. [RGJ] Worse still, we're' [...]
As the Las Vegas Sun article this morning points out, Nevada Congressional District 2 voters seem to like their candidates to be conservative, just not That conservative. [LVSun] However, the August 2006 Republican Primary was a bit closer than most might remember. Ultra-right wing conservative Sharron Angle, [...]
Read 'em and weep, Reid-Republicans! Northern New York state will predict the outcome of the Nevada primaries better than any waffling liberal prognosticators! Dede Scozzafava, forced out of a New York congressional race by a real Republican, is a sign [...]
Rep. Dina Titus exploits the franking privilege to hype how she is helping to create jobs in Congressional District 3 through the recovery act. It's not as nakedly political as Rep. Dean Heller's attack piece on health care reform paid for by taxpayers, too. But it's a little more than [...]
WASHINGTON -- Democratic Rep. Dina Titus will do this week what most Nevada lawmakers ably avoided during the long hot summer of Tea Party protests: She will host an open town hall forum on health care on Monday.
