WELCOME TO THE WEEKLY REPORT
This week:
Sporadic insider response this week, as I should have expected. I think everyone – including moi – has had enough. I’ll publish what I have from the intrepid ones, but I will take time off from premium content until next month sometime to begin to preview the Legislature.
I asked this: This week, if you have time, give me your final thoughts on the campaign season -- the pivotal points, what it means going forward, give out awards if you have any.

Reactions to the election results.
You have mine; now some great stuff from my insiders.
Some say Nevada is not a blue state. Here’s why they are wrong, as some top GOP officials now realize: You can’t beat the Vegas edge. It’s a big urban melting pot and will always provide a cushion, even after the Lambe lies down on the Strip….
►Most prescient line: The problem now..... too many Democrats! The infighting has begun.
►Priceless and so true: Just one...

PREDICTIONS
Mine are on The Indy site. Go there if you haven’t seen them yet.
I will say that two very smart data guys (not partisans) told me this morning I was too conservative in my margins ( I usually am) and that the tide has really turned toward the Dems. Maybe. If so, then the Dems may get supermajorities in both houses.

Who has been the best candidate so far this cycle? The worst?
Best campaign so far this cycle? Worst?
So interesting to see the differing views of the insiders on candidates (Laxalt and Rosen, especially). Electoral Ambien, though! That is so….good.

Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
Most interesting thing you read or heard this week about Nevada politics?
What's your sense: Races breaking for Dems or Kavanaugh saves Repubs? What do people you trust tell you, polls you know about?
What upset is developing that we might not see coming?
What issue is developing in this state that no one -- or too few people -- are paying attention to?
Interesting stuff from the insiders – if upsets are out there,...

This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
2. Most interesting thing you have read or heard this week?
3. Does the Kavanaugh spectacle, no matter what happens, affect any of these NV races? On a scale of 1-10, how damaging was Heller's "hiccup" remark?
4. One fun one this week: Name the three greatest Nevada leaders of the last quarter-century and tell me why.
5. Who does Trump -- and his visit -- help more in November here -- Dems or Repubs?
The insiders,...

Any thoughts at all on RGJ poll?
Usual wisdom from the insiders. To wit:

You are in gov and U.S. Senate debates: What would you ask?
Most impressive first-time candidates?
Some savage (those debate questions!) and cynical (everything else) this week:

Early voting begins seven weeks from Friday: Where are we? What's new? Any pithy observations on major races, Legislature, anything?
Relatively meager response, as I feared on this Labor Day weekend. But what came in was, as usual, excellent insight.
For what it’s worth, my takes:
Sisolak is on TV now, but he took a long time to reload. If it’s...
