Democratic poll shows CD3 is up for grabs

The two likely nominees for the right to succeed Rep. Joe Heck are in a dead heat, according to a poll taken by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The survey, taken last week, shows synagogue chief Jacky Rosen ahead of state Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson, 30 percent to 29 percent.

Joe Heck's seat, an unsurprising result based on his overwhelming name recognition that has often buoyed him early in previous contests.

Roberson: I'm not Rory Reid!

Congressional hopeful Michael Roberson has responded to a complaint filed by a friend of one of his opponents, claiming that he has done nothing wrong and insisting the complaint itself is deficient.
