As Democrats fret about their lack of a candidate in the state’s most important race, with Steve Sisolak’s inevitable decision not to run for governor, the question is: How did this happen?

Brian Sandoval might challenge the majority leader in 2016? (I don’t think he will, but the pressure from the...
The scourge has come to Nevada and the two NRAs, neither of them guns, are aligned.
A new radio ad paid for by the Nevada Resort Association and the Nevada Restauarant Association, is attached here.

Permit me to reprint his latest missive to the faithful, with helpful annotations:
