Welcome to the Damon Political Report, a new addition to the Sun's political coverage.
This election year promises to be unlike any other in Nevada's storied political history. Voters in this state will decide the future of one of America's most powerful politicians. A new governor will emerge to helm the state at a time it faces its most crippling revenue shortfall. And a slew of new legislators will be sent to Carson City to have the final say on how that shortfall is resolved.
Visit the Damon Political Report for the latest on breaking news in Nevada's political arena, a bit of analysis and the insider scoop on what's happening this election cycle.
Also, watch the Sun's site in coming weeks for additional political blogs as the Sun continues to build its political team and its online presence.
By way of introduction, I'm Anjeanette Damon. I've been a journalist in this state since 1998, when I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno. I covered statewide politics and the Legislature for six years at the Reno Gazette-Journal. I'm excited now to join the Las Vegas Sun, a newspaper I've long admired for its dedication to strong journalism.
Welcome to the jungle, Ms. Damon.
Try to avoid getten eaten alive.
Welcome aboard!
I expect to see opinion in a blog, all I ask is please keep opinion out of news stories. :)
Thanks, boftx.
I have to say, however, that this won't be your typical opinion blog. I'm still a political reporter and my personal opinions have no bearing on what I write.
That said, you'll see a bit more personality, perhaps, in my blog posts. And more analysis will be thrown in. It's an interesting balancing act between analysis and opinion, for sure. Don't be afraid to let me know how you think I'm doing.
Yo Angry, your boy Obama isn't having a very good day. We all know what flies like to land on and eat. Let's hope tomorrow will be even worse.
Oh, you can be sure that the readers will let you know what they think. :)
Angry: I love my country but I fear my president and what he's trying to do to it. Semper Fi!
