FLASHPOINT for Nov 04, 2006

Saturday, Nov. 4, 2006 | 7:27 a.m.

This excerpt from a piece in The New York Times this week sums up Nevada's U.S. Senate race this year - it was published one day after the president visited Elko on behalf of John Ensign: "But there was some confusion at the White House on Thursday about just which elections were taking place. One spokesman initially told reporters there was no Senate race in Nevada this year, though the incumbent Republican, John Ensign, has a Democratic opponent who should be at least passingly familiar, since he is Jack Carter, the son of former President Jimmy Carter. The White House later acknowledged the mistake." I don't know who should be more offended: Ensign or Carter. But I have a pretty good idea.
