Republicans raise specter of dishonest election; Democrats prepare for voter suppression
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.
Heck, Horsford win poll question
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!
Tark: "Harry Reid has reached a new low"
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.
Last day to register to vote in Nevada: Dems boost lead to huge Clark advantage, deadlock in Washoe

Reid: Tarkanian win would embarrass the state because he will have to file bankruptcy
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
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
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
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
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.
