FLASHPOINT for Nov 16, 2006

Thursday, Nov. 16, 2006 | 7:07 a.m.

Talk about denial. In a roundup of how its candidates fared, the pro-choice, Democratic group EMILY's List could not contain itself when Nevada was listed. "It was a great night for Democratic women in Nevada on the state level. Three of the six constitutional statewide offices are now held by Democratic women - Treasurer Kate Marshall; Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and Controller Kim Wallin. These women made history in Nevada, becoming the first Democrats elected to statewide office since 2003." (Actually, it's since 1998.) So a pro-choice Democratic woman - what was her name? - loses the state's most important race, and it's a great night because they got controller, treasurer and AG? Pass the confetti.
