sigh ...I guess, why not? It's her or asshat Gibbons anyway. Dammit that Richard Perkins decided not to run for Dem ticket last year ...


After attacking Gibson for doing it, Titus accepts $30,000 from son of governor



August 28, 2006

True-blue Democrat Dina Titus has changed her tune about the acceptability of donations from Republicans.

When the Republican governor's Republican son gave a sizable chunk of change to Titus' Democratic gubernatorial primary opponent, Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson, Titus decried the donation as further proof that Gibson wasn't a real Democrat. It was one of her most effective knocks on Gibson.

Now that Titus is the nominee, she's plenty willing to take businessman Jeffrey Guinn's money.

Titus' campaign said Friday it had received $30,000 in donations from various entities connected to Guinn, who owns a financial services company in Las Vegas. Guinn, the oldest son of Gov. Kenny Guinn, is a registered Republican.

Jeffrey Guinn funneled the same amount to Gibson in 2005. On the now-shuttered JimNoDem.com Web site, operated by the Titus campaign, the donation was listed as evidence, under the heading, "Republican Connections Continue."
