On July 8, as he tried to round up support for his incipient bid for lieutenant governor, state Sen. Mark Hutchison was pleased to receive a text from Las Vegas Councilman Bob Beers.
“Happy to endorse you for lg,” Beers texted Hutchison at 11:21 a.m., thus removing a prospective anti-Establishment, populist primary challenger known as a fierce campaigner and darling of the Right.
Or so Hutchison thought.
Beers is now saying that while he endorses Hutchison, he didn’t mean to imply he might not...
Talk about a screwup. Check out the memo attached here. It is priceless.
It’s so quaint, the “none of these candidates” option on the Nevada ballot. It’s so Nevadan, the ability to show all the people in the race they are unfit. It’s so….dumb.

Wayne Allyn Root is upset.

You never know what might come out of Tom Collins' mouth. Or on his Twitter feed. Or in an email.
The latest from the county commissioner and potential lieutenant governor candidate: Enviros and forestry service officials are responsible for the awful Mt. Charleston fire. If only cows were still allowed to roam there, he suggested.

At 11:43 AM on Monday, state Sen. Mark Hutchison tweeted his entrance into the lieutenant governor's race. Exactly 10 minutes later, Gov. Brian Sandoval tweeted his endorsement.
Why, it’s almost as if the governor had been expecting it. Because he was.
