Loading ...End of Political Road for Beers?
October 3rd, 2007From the Las Vegas Sun’s Patrick Coolican today:
Nevada Democrats can taste it now, like that Asian flavor that entered their mouths Tuesday night when they walked into Cili for a high-dollar fundraiser.
With their lock on the Assembly, they are one Senate seat away from controlling the entire Legislature for the first time since 1991, giving them leverage over Gov. Jim Gibbons as he considers reelection. It also would hand them the magical pens — the ability to draw their own legislative and congressional districts after the 2010 Census if they hold on to the Legislature.
In short, the Democrats would have the tools to shape Nevada politics and governance for the next decade.
Now, if only they can find a candidate or two.
In Southern Nevada, Democrats think they can knock off two Republican state senators: Joe Heck and Bob Beers. Although Republicans hold narrow registration advantages in both districts, Dina Titus won in both in last year’s gubernatorial race, and both districts are trending Democratic in recent voter registration.
Tuesday, Senate Democrats took in at least $75,000 at a fundraiser, even though they don’t have a candidate for either race.

Consider the source. The Las Vegas Sun is not exactly credible or objective.

I’m really grateful for The Sun. Keeps me abreast of how the other side thinks at no extra cost. My immediate reaction to this article in The Sun was to email to ask if Bob needed any help with his campaign!

Pity-it looks as if you may lose the Sun’s endorsement.

Although I am a democrat and I am not in Beers district I fully support him and encourage those who have not already done so to let him know! I get more information and support from Bob Beers than any federal, state or local official, current or past. Bob is an asset to ALL Nevadans.
