Martin may end campaign if Titus runs
By Joseph K. CooperLAS VEGAS-3rd District Congressional candidate Democrat Andrew Martin may end his campaign if Nevada Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus enters the race, his spokesperson said Tuesday.
"If Dina Titus does enter the race, we will definitely have to rethink everything," said Martin spokesperson Vin Gopal. "[Martin] has a lot of respect and deeply admires Dina Titus, so I'm not sure if we will continue the race if she enters."
"She would make a great candidate. She's a very popular person, she would get a lot of financial support and has good name recognition."
Since Robert Daskas' surprise announcement yesterday that he was withdrawing his candidacy, both the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Nevada Democratic Party have put out statements supporting Titus entering the race against Rep. Jon Porter.
Martin, who has been campaigning since last year and has loaned his campaign nearly $300,000, has "reached out" to the DCCC as well as top Nevada Democrats, but has not received their support.
Gopal added that until an announcement from Titus comes, Martin's campaign is "still doing the same thing we do every day. Focusing on running."

Martin MOVE ON!
Professional people have been trying to help Martin "re-think" his campaign from day one - but, the guy doesn't listen very well!
That is why his campaign is a joke and he's considered a joke - not listening to people with expertise doesn't win you any friends and you end up where Martin is today only surrounded by a few friends and a half a dozen, or so, naive and inexperienced volunteers!
Do all of us, including Martin and yourselves, a big, BIG favor and start "re-thinking" suspending the Martin campaign NOW!
Just so you know, in professional circles, a poorly put together plan like Martin's is referred to as a "nuisance" campaign - and it's not too late for Martin to save his reputation and political future in Nevada!
DRAFT BRAD, YOU FOOLS!
There is an independent presidential candidiate IN porter's district with MILLIONS of supporters but no shot. DRAFT HIM! He is GREAT! His site is www.voteforbrad.com
If Porter beats Titus, she is DEAD with two losses. If an unknown loses, no biggie!
You did a good job poisoning RD's campaign
KUDOS ABBERNUTT! You poisoned the Daskas campaign from the second you joined. Thanks for all of the help you did for Andrew Martin's campaign! WHO seriously listens to you cry like a girl anyhow? You are one (amoung many) of the reasons Daskas failed. REMEMBER he failed to a "nuisance" ccampaign hahahaha how does it feel? My suggestion to you ABBERNUTT get off line & get a life, or a hobby, or a hug or SOMETHING. My advice to Dina Titus is RUUUUUUUUUUN far away from ABBERNUTT he poisons EVERYTHING he comes in contact with.
More Childish Tantrums!
CORRECTION: The truth and fact of the matter is - I never "joined" the Daskas campaign. I'm just another citizen in C.D. #3 that does what I can as a veteran's advocate and activist (something that we really should not need in America).
And I write a column "A Veteran's Voice" where I tell it like it is based on facts (not feelings or fiction) - good, bad and ugly - and sometimes there is a little poison thrown in where due!
That's why a few, who don't even understand the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, try to silence me - I write the truth - and, sometimes, the truth hurts.
Your childish anonymous tantrums are not worthy of any further response.
He does always cry like a girl
John does always cry like a girl. Being anadvocate isn't just a title you have to do something in order to make it stick. You can't just show up for photo-ops! The Gleaner was correct when they kicked you off their bolg. You are not a columnist either. You are an angry bolgger with no life. Simply a confused crybaby nutcase in need of some serious therapy!
