Haunted by his Own Punch-Line

Last January, when it felt as if all of the media were watching (and analyzing to death) what they had decided to label the first serious confrontation between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in the Nevada primary, Obama made a bold decision for his final move.

Did Jack Joseph Save Bill Raggio?

About a week or so before the Nevada primary we received, like everyone else in Reno, the Jack Joseph Coupon Book. The funny thing was, across from a mexican restaurant's free entree coupon was a campaign ad for Bill Raggio! My first thought was "For criminy sakes he is spending boatloads of cash on microtargeting consultants and they come up with dropping $1,000 to share space with 2-for-1 buffet...

Nevada Primary Update

First of all, I’ve got to say that I’m less than favorably impressed with the Nevada Secretary of State’s election results web site SilverState08.com. On Tuesday night and even as late as last night there was a disclaimer that the vote percentages were not accurate and advised the reader to look at vote totals instead. [...]

GOP Assembly Incumbents Suffer Bloodletting

While John Marvel (AD-32) was edged by former assemblyman Don Gustavson, a pair of other Republican assembly incumbents joined him in defeat during Tuesday's Nevada primary. Both Francis Allen (AD-4) and Bob Beers (AD-21) were blown out in their races. With just a few precincts left, Allen is actually in danger of falling to third in her race. Richard McArthur will win with a 20+ point advantage. Beers,...

While there is a little bit of camera jumble because I was taking still pictures, there is a lot of good footage of the senator as he noticed I had a camcorder. From part 2 on this is evident, and I thought it was...

Can You Stop Unwanted Political Calls?

With Nevada's primary season upon us and a presidential battleground general election looming in November it is safe to say that if you are a registered voter there is a good chance your phone will be ringing a lot. But if the thought of robo calls and eager volunteers from out of state bugging you is too much to take, there may be some help. StopPoliticalCalls.org is compiling a "do not contact" list...

Nevada Caucus Scrapbook Vol. 2, Part 1

This is the second volume of scrapbooks of the Nevada Caucus campaign, Reno version. I should note I saw Barack Obama twice, the first time last spring, but I didn't get any decent pictures of him (though I got his speech then as well as the one in January on video). I saw Hillary Clinton a grand total of four times, but the last appearances she made (the day before the caucus and two days prior to...
