He's so excited. And he just can't hide it. Rep. Jim Gibbons, the frontrunner for governor, sent out an e-mail to supporters Tuesday declaring, "ELECTION YEAR HAS BEGUN!"

And Gibbons wants more money (he has more than $2 million), more volunteers (he has more than 500 folks on the Gibbons Ground Crew), and more endorsements (others are "not far off," the missive gushes). Well, congressman, what about what I want? I want more debates -- Gibbons and his almost anagrammatic counterpart, Jim Gibson -- don't want as many. And I want Oscar Goodman in the race. Which of us is dreaming?
