twitterFLASHPOINT for Nov 12, 2006
Sunday, Nov. 12, 2006 | 1:20 a.m.
As they look for a silver lining in the Gibbons-Ensign-Heller- Porter cloud, state Democrats rightly point to some potential stars. But history may temper their enthusiasm for the likes of Catherine Cortez Masto, Ross Miller and Tessa Hafen. Twenty years ago, three guaranteed future Democratic stars were born in the Assembly - Matt Callister, Gene Porter and Jim Spinello. We surely were looking at future statewide officeholders. They are all gone from public life now, though, mere footnotes in Nevada political history. It's a funny business. What will we be saying in 2026 about Cortez Masto, Miller and Hafen? Will we be talking about their long political careers or musing about stars who might have been?
