Reality Check: An "F" for the latest from margin tax advocates
Dem polls send message: The state Senate is still close!
A few hours after a GOP-aligned PAC released poll numbers showing their candidates with leads in key Senate districts, I obtained results from Democratic pollsters showing their candidates within the margin of error.
The most embarrassing endorsing group in Nevada?
It's Hispanics in Politics in a landslide. And the group just keeps embarrassing itself even more. First, it was the flip then flop then flip again in the Heck-Bilbray congressional race.
