FLASHPOINT for May 20, 2007

Sunday, May 20, 2007 | 6:57 a.m.

I had an interesting conversation with a Republican legisla- tor during a capital sojourn last week. This lawmaker told me about the unfairness in Carson City and how a minority, such as the Republicans in the Assembly, has been treated unfairly this session and how Democrats who thought so have been muzzled. So, this legislator said, the Republicans may try to put an opponent in all 27 Assembly districts held by Democrats. Oh, they know some of them can't be won. But the plan would be to give no one a free ride and concentrate resources on knocking off Democrats who had been especially obnoxious. This could be an effective strategy, although it has one problem: Who is going to give them the money?
