Winners

Losers

Dina Titus

Files to run against U.S. Rep. Jon Porter in the 3rd congression district with the support of the Democratic establishment and a 22,000 voter registration advantage, two things she's never had before.

U.S. Rep. Jon Porter

Good news: His establishment-backed candidate gets out of the race for personal reasons. Bad news: Dina Titus gets in, and she won the 3rd congressional district in her race for governor

Gov. Jim Gibbons

Signs executive order creating SAGE (Spending and Government Efficiency) Commission, taking more proactive steps to close budget gap without raising taxes.

State Senate Democrats

One vote away from a majority, and Dina Titus jumps ship to go Washington.

Sean Fellows

Files to run for AD-29 with no incumbent and $100,000 raised to date. This kid is the future.

Ron Paul Revolution

Still no rescheduled state GOP convention, and no end in sight to the war of attrition with the state GOP establishment.

NSEA-backed Initiative

The fact that they have the gaming industry talking about cutting a deal is a major success.

NSEA

The fact that they started a war with gaming simply because they are a popular target will come back to haunt them tenfold.

Quote of the Day

December 1, 2008

"Right now, I plan on spending some time with my family. With so many challenges before the country and our communities, the time is not to focus on campaigns; the time is to focus on solutions. I think people are tired of campaigns."

- U.S. Rep. John Porter (R), who was defeated in his bid for re-election, on his future plans.
