FLASHPOINT for Nov 13, 2006

Monday, Nov. 13, 2006 | 7:36 a.m.

I saw where last week the Assembly Republicans picked their leadership team. Now this is too good to pass up. So we have Minority Leader Garn Mabey, who thinks he might run against Harry Reid for the U.S. Senate. We have Heidi Gansert, the Reno assemblywoman with little experience, as Mabey's lieutenant. And then we have three veterans as whips - Joe Hardy, Valerie Weber and Pete Goicloechea. Three whips? For a caucus of 15 members that will be largely irrelevant. A 5-to-1 ratio of members to whips. Wow. Those Republicans may not like class-size reduction, but they sure are good at caucus-size reduction.
