Welcome to The Weekly Report.
This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
2. Laxalt and repealing the Commerce Tax? Smart strategy? Unforced error? Thoughts?
3. Any thoughts on the second week after the shooting?
I have been puzzled for two weeks by Attorney General Adam Laxalt’s thought process in deciding to come out for the repeal of the Commerce Tax, which was supported by many Republicans and business groups and has had no discernible deleterious effect on the economy. And...

This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week
2. Thoughts on what happened Sunday and the aftermath. Be as short or as long as you want. Talk about any aspect (s) you want -- political reaction, the future of Vegas, the insanity of it all…
Somber edition. Some good thoughts from some smart people.
►Strong: Since they all want to seek out the microphone, let’s look at what they have done or can do:
The right wing darling, Justice Scalia, opined in the...

This week:

2. Adam Laxalt and Chris G. get into the gov's race on Monday. What should we watch for?
3. Who is the most qualified person in Nevada to be governor and why?
4. I sense the Dems are nervous about the recalls qualifying. Should they be? And if they do, what is the likely outcome?
Big news from one of my insiders is that recallers already boasting they have the signatures. Others say they think they will...

This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
2. Sandoval went hard after Heller's bill. What does it mean? Anyone think there is any chance Heller doesn't run?
3. Anderson/Hill/Wheeler: Thoughts?
Majority think Heller will run, but mixed reviews on Wheeler – some recognize what few see (he’s pretty savvy) but most think his pro-slavery/anti-Vegas comments will be spun against him to hurt the caucus image and fundraising. On Heller, this is right on:

This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
2. Kate Marshall vs. Michael Roberson. Aaron Ford vs. Wes Duncan. Your thoughts?
3. Laxalt-Roberson-Cegavske-Duncan-Beers-Knecht vs. Sisolak (Chris G?)-Marshall-Arajuo-Ford-?-? How are things shaping up? Which ticket do you like? Fill in the blanks, too, if you can.
4. Are the fundamentals of the Nevada economy sound? Why or why not? (Thought I'd give you one non-political one this week.)
Smart stuff, as...
Welcome to The Weekly Report.
This week:
1. Charting voter registration
2. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
3. Schwartz is in. Does he have a chance? Why or why not?
4. My theory is that Heller/Laxalt/Roberson are going to use sanctuary cities, etc. to drive up the rural and white vote to win. Am I nuts? Could it work?
5. Has Pat Skorkowsky been a good supe? Or is the job just impossible?
Nobody thinks Schwartz has much of a chance, mixed reaction to reffectiveness of "snactuary cities"...

2. How much is Michael Roberson like Harry Reid?
3. Your thoughts on Hutch and the recalls: Is this who he really is, the nice guy was a mask?
4. Rank from most likely to least likely: All three recalls fail/All three recalls succeed/Some kind of split decision

This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
2. Tark-Heller. Thoughts?
3. Woodhouse recall. Thoughts?
4. Beers for treasurer. Thought
My insiders generally don’t think much of Tark’s chances, but it is early and miles to go before we vote. General disdain and sadness for the recalls from insiders of both parties. Cosnensus Beers can win.
►Right on: I'm a Republican and I can tell you this recall is silly and futile. Honest to God when will the...

This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
2. Ruben vs. Stavros? Victoria for CD3? Ford vs. Duncan? Dems vs. Cegavske? Roberson vs…..no one? Thoughts?
3. Rank most to least likely: Patty Farley switches to Dem and runs again/Titus runs for Senate/Schwartz decides to run for LG/Tark for Senate
Interesting stuff from the insiders: A real split on if Titus will run. I still say no, but several think she is in. Ford vs. Duncan is very intriguing. And...
This week:
1. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week?
