The Las Vegas Review-Journal is now officially part of the Coalition to Defeat Question 3. In a stunning move this morning, the RJ has a house ad dedicated to opposing The Education Initiative. I initially thought the ad, which you can see below, was from the foes' media campaign. But in tiny print you need a magnifying glass to see, right below the ad, it says: "A message from the Las Vegas Review-Journal." My God. I'm sure this will be disclosed in all news stories from now on, right? How...
A new Adam Laxalt spot in the AG's race describes his devastating law firm evaluation as "stolen" and "illegally leaked" and all but accuses Secretary of State Ross Miller of being behind the putative theft. The ad, which could be pretty effective, comes on the heels of a state Democratic Party ad that mentions the evaluation. I'm surprised those documents are blurred out in the ad. I wonder why. The spot calls the law firm evaluation a "desperate attempt to destroy Adam Laxalt," as if the...
The Las Vegas Review-Journal poll suggests state Sen. Mark Hutchison is crushing Assemblywoman Lucy Flores among Hispanics, that Republican candidates are destroying Democrats in Las Vegas, where Democrats have a 14 percentage point edge and that GOP state Sen.

To wit: ►"Hutchison talked as if he and Sandoval would enjoy a governing partnership with the...
When Bob Brown was at the Review-Journal, which crusaded to defeat him in 2010, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said to him, "I hope you got out of business." Today, Reid said of Brown, "I have known Bob Brown for a long time and can personally testify to his commitment to serving the less fortunate of Nevada." Brown was forced out of the RJ earlier this year. And now Reid loves him: Reid Appoints Bob Brown To The National Council On Disability   Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid...
