Dems take early lead

By Wally Edge

The early voting numbers from the weekend look terrible for the GOP.

The fact that Democrats are ahead in Clark County is not a surprise.  But the roughly 2-to-1 turnout margin in the districts of U.S. Rep Jon Porter (R-Henderson), state Sen. Joe Heck (R-Henderson) and state Sen. Bob Beers (R-Las Vegas) spells serious trouble for the GOP.

Beers says 2010 Reid challenge unlikely

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

State Sen. Bob Beers (R-Las Vegas), widely seen as a rising star in Nevada Republican circles, said in a telephone interview with PolitickerNV.com that a 2010 challenge to U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) was unlikely.

"I've got a 13-year-old at home," said Beers, explaining that a move to Washington, D.C., would keep him away from his family. "I'm not currently contemplating running against [Reid]."

Sides stake out positions on special session

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS - Following Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons' surprise announcement Friday that he would call for a special session of the state legislature to address Nevada's budget crisis, state Republicans swung into line behind the governor in arguing that choices are limited between either deferring state employees' cost-of-living allowance increases or laying off workers.

Nevada Democrats and labor unions condemned the call, however, saying a special session is not necessary and disputing the need for a COLA deferment.
