No, @DeanHeller. Nobody's smiling. Your deciding vote to strip health care from tens of thousands of Nevadans is a disgrace.

(14,565 posts)I lived in Las Vegas or Henderson for 25 years. The state is increasingly friendly during presidential years but Democrats don't win too many statewide races in midterms. The cow counties always show up. The electorate reports more self-identified conservatives than during presidential years.
To defeat Heller we're going to need a national slant of at least 4-5 points on the generic ballot. Very possible right now. But incumbents don't go down easily.

I've read recently that Heller is probably going to be primaried next year. Not by Joe Heck like I thought, but by Danny Tarkanian (complete fool). Here is the first paragraph in his Wikipedia entry:
Let's get used to saying "Senator Rosen."

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)to beat Sheldon Adelson(Dean Heller). Adelson Family owns Battle-Born Media,which owns and controls all of the print media in a few Radio Stations here in Nevada. And someone mentioned the Sharon Angle Twit to return for a shot at this seat.
What will be interesting is how Harry Reid's instate power prevails. For the most part,it still will be getting out Dem voters to the polls. Remember,in the past City Election in Vegas,we only got 8% of the registered voters to the polls. And as a result we now have Gun Humper Michele Fiore as sixth ward counsel person.

I think Tarkanian has won almost every primary he's ever run in, only to get beaten in the GE
