FLASHPOINT for Sep 16, 2006

Saturday, Sept. 16, 2006 | 8:16 a.m.

Political IQ question: Which race has featured the most public to and fro in the general election season and will keep up that pace until November? If you guessed Dina Titus and Jim Gibbons in the governor's race, try again. It's unquestionably the congressional contest between Rep. Jon Porter and Tessa Hafen. Hafen is trying to define Porter early as a presidential puppet - she has put three ads on in a little over a week, an unusual and risky strategy. And Porter is now up with an ad declaring his opposition to sexual predators - a usual and hardly risky strategy. Considering outside money already has been spent - the U.S. chamber shilling for Porter - with more to come, this will be the noisiest race of the year.
