FLASHPOINT for Aug 17, 2006

The new campaign for governor started right away - at least so far as Democratic nominee Dina Titus was concerned. Titus held a news conference Wednesday to define herself, define Jim Gibbons, issue a debate challenge and name a communications director (Hilarie Gray, late of UNLV). Phew. She danced around the possibility of a Jim Gibson endorsement. She said Gibbons doesn't like education and she does - or words to that effect. She already had pulled votes from Gibbons' state legislative days - against class-size reduction and against all-day kindergarten. Is she a liberal, an AP scribe wondered? "I don't know what that means," she replied. My guess is Gibbons will find a definition for her. Game on.
