There was a lot of pressure. My wife has been calling every day I have been writing,the governor basically came out and told him not to vote for it.

Good to see it worked.

I notice it became official in recent days.

I can't say I know much about her other than reading articles, since I left Las Vegas before she entered politics.

They'll attempt to mangle her. No doubt. I saw what happened to sweet Tessa Hafen in 2006. Rosen is older and seems tougher.

She barely won her seat -- I volunteered to work on her 2018 campaign already for Swing Left. Heller's internals, according to my source, though, are fucking abysmal when matching him against the "generic Democrat." Nevadans seem to prefer moderation and independence, and Heller being a party loyalist is not a good look.

Plus, I got ten bucks says he backs down before July 4th, because he's a total wimp.

and then, to save gramma's life, he will vote for it. Look, we knew this was gonna happen November 8th in the wee hours of the night. Ain't nothing gonna change it.
