Reid: Tarkanian win would embarrass the state because he will have to file bankruptcy
by Jon Ralston 10/15/2012 | 0 comments
Those were among the gems today as the Democrats brought out the heavy artillery to try to boost state Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford's chances in the new congressional district. The Democrats got what they wanted -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid unplugged and plenty of media coverage, including this post from Sun Political Editor Anjeanette Damon about Reid vs. Danny Tarkanian.
Sandoval embraces Heller on TV
by Jon Ralston 10/15/2012 | 0 comments
And it's so, so beautiful to watch. But I wonder: Who wins a game of one-on-one between these two hoopsters? Maybe we can trust Heller, but he throws elbows. Not sure Gov. Sunny does, from what I recall.
FDIC to Tark in court filing: Your arguments are nonsense, so pay up
by Jon Ralston 10/15/2012 | 0 comments
That's the gist of an FDIC motion filed today, answering Danny Tarkanian's attempt to put off paying a $17 million judgment or at least post a bond. The language is savage. It says Tarkanian's arguments are not on point, miss the point and are irrelevant. It's a thorough evisceration -- and it is linked here.
Democrats now sure to have more than 90,000-voter lead statewide
by Jon Ralston 10/15/2012 | 0 comments
On the day before the registration deadline, Nevada Democrats are poised to go past the 90,000 mark in their ever-extending lead over Republicans. Although Republican continue to brag about all of these voter "contacts," the Democrats keep producing new registrations. Here are the latest numbers from the SOS, which don't even include the latest surge in Clark County numbers. The edge is actually about 1,000 voters greater than shown here, meaning the overall, statewide lead is 90,000-plus.
"Newspaper," in zeal to pretend it had story on its own, fabricates source of information
by Jon Ralston 10/14/2012 | 0 comments
To paraphrase Poe, the thousand injuries of the "newspaper" I have borne as best I could. The stolen stories. The failure to give credit. The purposeful slights, flouting basic courtesy, conventions and ethics.
Democrats closing with Heck's "pyramid scheme" to try to win race for Oceguera
by Jon Ralston 10/14/2012 | 0 comments
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is up with its second ad using supposedly credible sources to pound Rep. Joe Heck on his infamous "pyramid scheme" comment about Soical Security. So Oceguera is trying to push women away from Heck with his ads and the national Democrats are going for seniors. Could it work? Maybe.

Heller has $1 million more on hand than Berkley in U.S. Senate race
by Jon Ralston 10/13/2012 | 0 comments
The third-quarter numbers: Sen. Dean Heller: $1.9 raised, $1.9 on hand Rep. Shelley Berkley: $1.65 raised, $925,000 on hand So Berkley has spent a lot more than Heller to try to keep the race close (mission accomplished) and compete with all of that outside money. It also explains why the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has sent some cavalry.
New Berkley poll shows her up 3

Mark Mellman, who nailed Nevada for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2010, says Rep. Shelley Berkley is slightly ahead of Sen. Dean Heller. 42-39. His memo is linked here. The existence of the poll was first reported by The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza.
Why most polls done in Nevada are garbage
by Jon Ralston 10/12/2012 | 0 comments
A few words about all of these polls on the presidential race in Nevada: Don’t believe them. Sound familiar? Yes, I was telling you the same thing two years ago when every poll (almost) showed Sharron Angle would be the next U.S. senator from Nevada. That didn’t happen, and all of those polls were wrong for different reasons, which eventually comes down to the same reason:
