The Daily Caller reports that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin plans on endorsing Nevada Republican Sharron Angle. Palin’s brother, Chuck Heath, told The Daily Caller that his sister plans to “actively help” Angle and “do whatever she can” to help take out Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate’s majority leader, in Nevada this fall. “She’s got GUTS and is putting up with more crap than she deserves because the libs don’t know what to do with her and the support she has,” Palin said in a email provided to TheDC by Heath. The move will likely add to Ms. Angle’s...

Here's another one that could be tough for Sharron Angle to explain away: In an interview in January, Angle appeared to float the possibility of armed insurrection if "this Congress keeps going the way it is." I'm not kidding. In an interview she gave to a right-wing talk show host, Angle approvingly quoted Thomas Jefferson saying it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years -- and said that if Congress keeps it up, people may find themselves resorting to "Second Amendment remedies." What's more, the talk show host she spoke to tells me he doesn't have...

I’m from Nevada. I know we must replace Senator Reid. Our Primary is June 8th. Who is the better choice, Lowden or Tarkanian? Which one does the Tea Party endorse?

It is almost as if Obama wants Harry to lose in this Fall's election. Once again, this President "of only some of the people" has specifically demonized another group of people like the entire City of Las Vegas.

The decision by Beau Biden not to run for Senate brings to mind an historical parallel. With no Biden in the race, with no Ted Kaufman serving another term, the Democratic candidate is likely to be New Castle County executive Chris Coons. Back in 1972, no Democrat wanted to run against a popular Republican, so a young New Castle County Councilman with no money entered the race. His name: Joe Biden. Historical parallels might be all that Democrats have to hang onto. Rep. Mike Castle (R) is sufficiently popular statewide and has a fairly unimpeachable record of service in Washington....

Yesterday I celebrated the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday by enjoying a 10-hour workday, something that millions of other Americans likely did as well. While I was there I heard several references on my radio about the late Reverend King and his dream of a color-blind society. Also, I thought about all the people who had the day off from work, such as the members of Congress, including Senate Leader Harry Reid. It is rather sad that over 45 years have passed since King’s death and yet people with views like those of Reid still exist. I thought about one...

Memo to the Republicans – let Harry Reid remain in office and let him keep his post as Senate Leader. It may seem hypocritical and wrong to allow him to do so now, but it will reap a big payoff in November. Reid is highly likely to lose his re-election bid anyway so the Republicans should just keep him out there in the public as a symbol of all that is wrong with the Democrats in Washington and elsewhere. The Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of big spending, big government, racism, misogynism and the party that gives...

Senator Reed's racist remarks are not out of place in the democrat party. Lincoln freed the slaves and was killed by a democrat and southern sympathizer. The Klan was formed in Al Gore's state by a good ol' boy and democrat named Nathan Bedford Forrest who slaughtered a company of unarmed black Union troops attempting to surrender. Reed is just one more racist in the democrat party. There's NO WAY democrats will Let THOSE PEOPLE ever get the right to vote! We'll filibuster the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT until Hell freezes over! - Al Gore Sr. (DEMOCRAT) "The police aren't here...

Freshman Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) is tied with Republican challenger Joe Heck in a new poll of 3rd district voters conducted by Mason Dixon Polling for the Las Vegas Review-Journal Nov. 30 through Dec. 2. The poll's 300-person sample was small, however, while it had a 6 percent margin of error. Titus and Heck, a Henderson, Nev. physician who switched from the governor's race to the congressional field in October, each received 40 percent of the vote in the hypothetical match-up, while 20 percent of the electorate remained undecided. While Heck received the support of 80 percent of GOP voters,...

Former Republican state Sen. Joe Heck is “seriously considering” dropping out of the governor’s race to challenge Democratic Rep. Dina Titus for Southern Nevada’s congressional seat in Washington. According to conservative activist Chuch Muth’s news service, Heck attended a meeting in Las Vegas on Monday called by fellow Republican John Guedry, who announced last week he was dropping out of the race, and was encouraged to run. Heck is expected to decide whether he’s in by the end of the week, the report said.

Banker and southern Nevada resident John Guedry has announced he intends to run as a Republican against Democratic first-term Rep. Dina Titus. Guedry submitted paperwork Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission saying he intends to enter the race for next year's election. Guedry has been an executive at City National Bank for two years. He says the bank has fared well during the recession, providing over $3.5 billion in residential mortgages with only one home foreclosure. He says the bank refused to engage in risky investments. Guedry says he was approached to run for office by Nevadans fed up with...

The most impressive and most promising Republican who spoke Monday night was John Guedry. He all but announced he was running against Rep. Dina Titus (D) and, even though a newcomer on the campaign stage, was savvy enough to downplay the biggest knock against him in his brief remarks; noting that while he's a banker, he's a community banker, not a Wall Street banker. GOP gubernatorial candidates Joe Heck and Mike Montandon also spoke. Montandon seems to have a slight edge right now among the party faithful, but Heck, a doctor by trade, rolled out a new campaign slogan: “I'm...

State Sen. Mark Amodei has during the final weeks of the legislative session made floor speeches against loosening ethics rules, railed against unequal treatment of state functions in the Legislature’s budget and, unlike a majority of his fellow Republican senators, voted against the $781 million tax increase. Amodei’s actions have drawn attention and prompted a persistent question: What is he running for? A possible answer: The Carson City Republican, who is prevented by term limits from seeking reelection, is considering a run in 2010 against U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Amodei said in a recent interview that Rep. Dean...

In the Silver State of Nevada, The Nevada Policy Research Institute Think tank came up with an alternative budget that does not raise taxes but cuts wasteful spending while focusing resources on core government and priorities. In fact it allocates more money for mental health than the governors proposed budget. (Gov. Gibbons had promised not to raise taxes)

Re-Elect Steve Sanson for Clark County E-Board District C Steve Sanson strong commitment to his country and his community has been demonstrated through his leadership and service in the United States Marine Corps in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, which earned him the distinguishing Certificate of Commendation from the United States Marine Corps. Sanson served in the Marine Corps from 1985 to 1991 and the United States Army from 1992 to 1998. Within Clark County, Sanson assumes an important role with the Veteran Community. Steve Sanson is the former Chaplain for the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Marine Corps...

Democrats are realizing that winning the Hispanic vote is more critical than ever if they hope to carry Nevada in November. And so as Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin rallied supporters in Carson City on Saturday, Democrats were redoubling their outreach efforts to Latinos. To point: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson gathered with local Hispanic leaders for a discussion on the economy at the College of Southern Nevada before setting off to canvass, attend a Telemundo soccer tournament and deliver remarks at the Clark County Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner. The visit was one in a series of recent actions...

My friends and I here in safely-Republican Arizona are wondering how we might best help out the party in neighboring "purple" states on Election Day. We've taken the Monday through Wednesday off work, and want to make a road trip to either Nevada or Colorado to help with the "ground game" of getting our voters to the polls. Do we contact the campaign, or the state Republican parties, or what? Is it better to go to Democratic strongholds like Denver or Las Vegas, or to concentrate on the rural areas? We can provide our own vehicles and pay for our...

RENO, Nev. — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner. Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch near Carson City, said he was so impressed after hearing Paul at a campaign stop in Reno last week that he decided to raise money for him.
