Good morning, everyone. Sorry I’m a little late today, dear Flashees: Big day in my life launching a new business venture, worrying about the crushing impact of...
Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform is here in Nevada, trying to affect the U.S. Senate race with a mail campaign.
You can download the piece here that attacks Rep. Shelley Berkley.
It's a combination of ethics and "debt, spending and job loss."
(She was not actually named one of "the most corrupt members of Congress." Only "Dishonorable Mention." But.....)
Folks, I will try as often as I can to post media on this blog, so you can see what is happening in major -- and maybe some minor -- races.
You will see attached here two pieces I received -- I am a registered non-partisan -- one from the Washoe Republican Party, which essentially is a front now as a federal PAC for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (which doesn't trust the state GOP), and one from the Democratic Party of Nevada on the presidential ticket.
The mail I receive will...
Some developments in the Nevada ad wars:
Crossroads GPS is filling in its order in Reno, meaning it's hitting (probably Rep. Shelley Berkley) more and earlier.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is beefing up its buy in Reno and Las Vegas (are you listening, Sen. Dean Heller?)

The Fertitta brothers also attended the private event, as did major GOP donor Bill Brady, who hosted a previous event here for Romney. Also there were state Senate hopeful Mark Hutchison, who was involved in the Obamacare case before the Supreme Court; businessman Dan Shaw; Lt...
It's a $240,000, week-long buy, trying to solidify women against Rep. Joe Heck -- or for Speaker John Oceguera.
The ad is here.
(I will be embedding video soon I promise!)
The state just released the numbers. Was 12 percent in July.
See the full report in the attached documents.

Nevada Statewide 12.1%
(Seasonally Adjusted)
Las Vegas-Paradise MSA 12.3%
Reno-Sparks MSA 11.5%
Carson City MSA 11.6%
Elko Micropolitan Area 6.1%
United States 8.1%
UPDATE
Gov. Brian Sandoval: “While I am disappointed that Nevada experienced another slight uptick in the unemployment rate, I am encouraged by the fact that we continue to see signs of...
