Posted on: Rep. Shelley Berkley's health care forum planned Saturday

Rep. Dina Titus delivered an able and intelligent explanation of her views and the pending health care legislation at her Town Hall last Monday. She answered every question in detail. I expect. Rep. Berkley will do the same. Going to give someone a "piece of my mind," like the first poster threatens is not engaging in productive dialogue.

Posted on: Why Harry Reid has gotten a head start on advertising

"....change his strips." You think the senator has a secret career as a pole dancer? I join you in preferring he remains demurely clad. Sen. Snowe R-Maine was in the conference with Dodd, Baucus and White House staff.
Please provide evidence for all this fevered speculation. For example, studies show that hospitals already shift costs of caring for the uninsured to their covered patients, so expanding coverage will actually help everyone.

Posted on: Rory Reid officially enters race for governor

@ larry5: "No doubt he'll get the votes of the people who bought into Obama's lies."

If Rory gets the votes of Obama supporters, he, well, wins as Obama carried Nevada 55.15% to McCain's 42.65%. Actually, courting the numerous Obama voters sounds like a good plan for any candidate.

Posted on: After the event, Reid's GOP rival has 5 questions

Mr. Tarkanian's Town Hall was civil until some people in the crowd booed a woman in a wheelchair for speaking in favor of reform and Medicare. And good thing Joe Heck was there to bail him out when the discussion turned to details.

Posted on: Titus joins chorus of dissent on health care overhaul

This strategic vote risks alienating the progressive activists who phoned, canvassed attended events and donated to Rep. Titus. Many volunteers, motivated because she campaigned on health care reform, are shocked and disappointed. The electoral cost of writing off this volunteer base might be higher than loss of a small percentage of non-partisan voters.
Titus's only opponent is not even raising money yet and the state GOP is moribund as an organization. With the NSDP in high gear, her seat is defensible, given an enthusiastic army of volunteers.
