Rep. Shelley Berkley has an opponent?

By Jon Ralston (contact)

Did you know that Rep. Shelley Berkley has an opponent? Or, to be accurate, opponents. Some guy named Ken Wegner, who has run before, actually has a TV ad on the air attacking the incumbent on illegal immigration and support for the troops and his son serves in Iraq. You can see the ad on PolitickerNV.com, a Web site that has become a bulletin board for fringe candidates of all parties. (This is where soon-to-be-officially-dead congressional hopeful Andrew Martin gets a lot of coverage.) Also, some fellow named Ray Kornfeld kept accosting me at the state GOP convention, saying he was running against Berkley. It was pretty sad because most of the Republicans were ignoring him, too. As they are this nonrace.
