flashpoint:
The Democrats’ most vulnerable (Senate) seat
Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2009 | 2 a.m.
“Nevada probably is the Democrats’ most vulnerable (Senate) seat in 2010.” So wrote national pundit Stu Rothenberg in his latest report. Rothenberg, as usual, did as well as anyone can from afar, also pointing out that Harry Reid’s “close relationship with Nevada colleague Sen. John Ensign means that Ensign won’t be beating up on Reid no matter how tough a majority leader he is.” Rothenberg listed the seat under “Narrow Advantage for Incumbent Party.” He touted ex-Rep. Jon Porter as a potentially “credible challenger to Reid,” but many think Porter will opt for lobbying in D.C. A mistake in the piece was referring to the lieutenant governor as “Attorney General Brian Krolicki.” If only. Then he could dismiss that indictment against himself.

The last line is laugh out loud funny, Jon.
Hopefully one day we will get an Attorney General. Perhaps in the next election we will get one.
Right now, all we have is an Attorney General that represents the interest of the Democratic Party only.
"Right now, all we have is an Attorney General that represents the interest of the Democratic Party only."
Not as bad as a President who represents the interest of the Republican Party only.
Is President Bush a Republican? I wouldn't have guessed it???
Mr. Nance,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Krolicki a Republican?
