FLASHPOINT for Sep 26, 2006
Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2006 | 7:22 a.m.
Did you realize today is six weeks until Election Day? And did you realize how much you know about the candidates for important offices? Look how much the TV ads enlighten us: Gubernatorial candidate Dina Titus loves illegal immigrants - almost as much as she adores taxes. Her opponent, Jim Gibbons, loves saving corporations money and wasting tax dollars inside the Beltway. And how about congressional contender Tessa Hafen? She was born in Southern Nevada but miraculously, now she is from out of state. And Rep. Jon Porter - who knew there were no pictures of him without President Bush at his side? All you need to know is in those ads. And we still have six weeks more of them to soak up.
