Ain't it the truth. Those are the words from the NBC political team in their early morning dispatch calling Nevada the fifth most interesting state to watch in 2010. The full item:
*** States To Watch In 2010 -- Nevada: The stories emerging out of this presidential battleground state are almost endless: Another Democratic majority leader (Harry Reid) is in danger of losing his Senate seat; his son (Rory Reid) is running for governor in a race that could go either way; the incumbent GOP governor (Jim Gibbons) is going through a divorce over allegations of infidelity and even by a lawsuit by a woman claiming that he assaulted her in a parking garage; and there's a competitive House race (freshman Democratic Rep. Dina Titus is one of the GOP's top targets). Speaking of sons, one of the top Republican contenders for Harry Reid’s Senate seat is Danny Tarkanian, a former secretary of state (sic) whose father is the towel-gnawing former famed UNLV Runnin’ Rebels basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian. Both Danny Tarkanian and former state GOP chairwoman Sue Lowden -- who’s exploring a bid -- lead Reid in recent polls. In the race for governor, Gibbons will face a tough challenge from District Court judge Brian Sandoval, a former state attorney general, in the primary. BTW, the Reid dynasty aspect is, perhaps, the single most under-examined aspect of 2010.
Makes the comics section pretty useless....
And here all along I thought this WAS the comics section....
Pretty poor job of getting the facts right. Danny Tarkanian has never served as Secretary of State (he lost in his attempt) and it makes it sound like Brian Sandoval is a former local district court Judge instead of a Federal Judge. That's an example of why I don't watch the NBC National News.
how did they pronounce "Nevadah"???
