Nevada: Freedom's Watch

[img_assist|nid=2491|title=U.S. Rep. Jon Porter|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=175|height=161]WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Jon Porter (R-Henderson) may have been one of only a handful of vulnerable members to support the bailout bill on Monday, but Porter's Democratic opponent insists the vote isn't a profile of courage. "I don't see it as a vote that should be looked at in a vacuum," state Sen. Dina Titus (D-Henderson) said Tuesday evening in a telephone interview.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The participation of the conservative advocacy group Freedom’s Watch in House races across the country this cycle is a good thing for the Republican Party, National Republican Congressional Committee chair Tom Cole said in an interview here this week.

“I’m glad they’re out there,” Cole said of the organization, which is heavily funded by Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. “I’m glad that some people understand what the stakes are and are willing to come and help.”

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s independent expenditure arm is announcing plans to air competing radio advertisements targeting Freedom’s Watch, the conservative advocacy group heavily funded by Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson.

If it’s Friday afternoon, it's a schoolyard fight between the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee vs. Freedom’s Watch.
