Derby to Announce Another CD2 Campaign

Jill Derby’s still unconfirmed intention to run for Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District tomorrow should send some Nevadans into a tizzy.  Balls.  Derby almost beat Heller last time–it should be close again with an even better chance for Derby to beat him.  Heller has nothing to offer except bizarre conference calls full of Bush talking points.  […]

Two Best Campaign Websites: Huckabee and Obama

As much as I DON’T like him as a candidate, Mike Huckabee’s campaign website is terrific, and the one advantage his site has over Obama’s is that almost everything is above the fold. Huckabee’s site also features strong calls to action, fund raising efforts, timely featured content, blog posts, and check out those social […]

That should go over well in Reno as long as the Clinton campaign doesn’t […]

The Nevada airwaves and billboards have been blanketed with ads hyping Ron Paul’s Tax Free Tips Act which should be a winning pitch in a state in which a majority of its citizens work in the service industry and rely on tips as a part of their income. From the press release:
The Tax Free […]

Hillary Clinton at Cathexes This Friday

Hillary Clinton will be making a campaign stop at Cathexes, a local architectural firm this Friday at 5:00pm. Cathexes is a nice space–the Reno Bike Project is run out of the garage and they have an indoor basektball court. Maybe Hillary will shoot a few hoops while she’s there? The event is listed […]

Tom Tancredo Takes The Subtle Road

Listen to Tancredo’s latest radio ad at Pandagon and television ad on youtube . Both of these are airing in Iowa. Apparently America is defenseless….is there anything you can’t say in a presidential campaign ad? I am more frightened of Tom Tancredo than anyone else at the moment.
