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.

"....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.

@ 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.

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.

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.

For Ensign to praise the Department of Veterans Affairs, a version of government-sponsored single payer health care, is as hypocritical as his breakup letter to Cindy Hampton. He opposes the public option, which would offer "first-class" care to people currently uninsured or undersured and will vote against the final health care reform bill. Of couse, he enjoys government health care himself.

Cathhy Rosenfield's classy response in this interview just underscores why she is the best choice for Henderson City Council. She has served as an effective community volunteer for years and is familiar with city government. Ms Boutin's motives for changing her party affiliation are unclear. If she can appeal to the voters, being a Republican shouldn't affect her in a non-partisan race.

Cathy Rosenfield has a 10 year history of serving Henderson on the Citizen Advisory Board for Parks and Recreation and the PTA. She is consistent, familiar with city government and beholden to no one.

elgato, it is insane to think someone would voluntarily acquire hepatitis C or permanent paralysis in order to score a jackpot.

Someone who got hepatitis because of a doctor's negligence is a "loon" because they asked for fair compensation? For a young mother of two, 350K does not begin to cover the shortened life and potential loss of earnings. Dr. Desai, whose clinics spread hepatitis C, helped found and fund "Keep Our Doctors in Nevada," organizers of this rally. Now it seems like he pushed for the cap to protect himself from the consequences of his own negligence.
