In a polling memo surely designed to rev up the base and maybe raise a little money, Danny Tarkanian's pollsters expressed confidence this week in a missive headlined, "Tarkanian momentum grows."
The memo, attached here, from David Polyansky and Ed Goeas, says a survey they took last week showed the congressional hopeful up 10 percentage points over Steven Horsford. That's hardly an outlier as other surveys, including one posted on this site have shown the same, and Democrats are manifestly...
The Federal Election Commission will consider the audit findings on Thursday that show irregularities with 2010 U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle's campaign disclosures.
Highlights (full report linked here) of audit of "Friends of Sharron Angle" below:
Finding 1. Filing of 48-Hour Notices In its response to the DFAR, FOSA had no additional comments on this finding. The Audit staff recommends that the Commission find that FOSA filed in an untimely manner or failed to file 48-hour notices for...
If the presidential and/or U.S. Senate race are close this year, welcome to my nightmare.
Republicans, as they did in 2010, already are laying the predicate for challenging voters, raising the specter of all of those new Democratic registrations not being kosher. And Democrats, fearing attempts to suppress their vote, are moving to counter these efforts.
And then you have the "newspaper," through its chief editorial writer and Sunday columnist Glenn Cook raising the specter of voter fraud....
More than 400 people responded to the site question: "Who will win the competitive congressional contests?"
Results:
Joe Heck--34 percent
John Oceguera--26 percent
Steven Horsford -- 21 percent
Danny Tarkanian -- 18 percent
New, mischievous question is up!
So along with Sen. Dean Heller, Danny Tarkanian becomes the second Republican to say he has two opponents.
To wit:
Dear
Harry Reid has reached a new low. Recent polls show my opponent, Steven Horsford down 13 points. Senate Majority leader Harry Reid is attempting to leverage Nevada voters to elect an individual he has as dubbed his heir in Washington.
Reid is relying on desperate attacks to distract voters, because Horsford and Reid know that that they cannot run on their failed agenda...

Veterans in Politics International's Steve Sanson sent out an email Monday shilling for Amercians for Prosperity, the Koch Brothers-funded conservative organization that has been very active this cycle in Nevada.
The ever-literate Sanson issued an "EMPLOYMENT OPERTUNITY" (you can't make this up) for AFP, saying "volunteers" are wanted but adding they will be paid $15 an hour and as "an added incentive workers will be given a $50 AMEX gift card if they work 8 hours." I kid you not.
Oh, there's...
