The roster looks as if it has been gathered to play in a U.S. Senate race.
Democratic Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, who announces her lieutenant governor candidacy later today, has put together a roster of talent that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would be proud to have. And that's no coincidence since Reid believes Flores becoming lieutenant governor would prevent a second-term Gov. Brian Sandoval from leaving his job to challenge him in 2016.
Sen. Cory Booker's campaign manager. A nationally known pollster. Reid's 2010 campaign manager.
Brandon Hall, who ran Reid's near-perfect 2010 campaign, and McKenna/Pihlaja, which is aligned with EMILY's List, a group that will play in this contest, will do the media.
Addissu Demissie, an Obama campaign hand who ran Booker's campaign, is the acting manager until Flores finds a permanent overseer.
James Aldrete an Austin-based pol, will be her general consultant, and Parker Butterworth, who works for a boutique Washington State consulting firm, is her finance director.
Flores has national connections. But Team Reid's fingerprints are all over this.

For an LG's race.
Get the picture?
Here's the team:
Pollster Geoff Garin, who already has done work for Flores, is on board.
Brandon Hall, who ran Reid's near-perfect 2010 campaign, and McKenna/Pihlaja, which is aligned with EMILY's List, a group that will play in this contest, will do the media.
Addissu Demissie, an Obama campaign hand who ran Booker's campaign, is the acting manager until Flores finds a permanent overseer.
