twitterFLASHPOINT for Aug 23, 2006
Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2006 | 7:47 a.m.
It has gone mostly unnoticed in the post-primary analysis. But this year the Democrats will have a very different top of the ticket. And for two reasons. First, the two people at the top are demonstrably not native Nevadans. And both are from ... Georgia: Dina Titus and Jack Carter. And gubernatorial contender Titus, who is a longtime Nevadan, sounds less like one than senatorial hopeful Carter, whose accent is less pronounced. The second reason is that the Democratic ticket is as female-heavy at the top as any in memory: Titus, congressional hopefuls Shelley Berkley, Jill Derby and Tessa Hafen, and attorney general candidate Catherine Cortez Masto. Do these two factors mean anything? We'll see.
