NRCC hits Titus on taxes

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

Porter bailout vote riles Titus

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

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.

REVISED: Is the NRCC ditching Jon Porter? Not so fast

By Alex Isenstadt, Politicker.com Reporter

[img_assist|nid=2491|title=U.S. Rep. Jon Porter|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=220|height=202]The National Republican Congressional Committee has no clear plans on dramatically scaling back its advertising for U.S. Rep. Jon Porter, as Democrats had hoped.

Earlier this week, journalist Jon Ralston wrote ominously that the committee was appearing to scale back on its advertising plans for Porter, a third term incumbent who is facing a difficult re-election bid against Democratic state Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus.

"That can't be good," Ralston wrote.

NRCC keeps up the pressure against Titus

By Joseph K. Cooper

LAS VEGAS-The National Republican Congressional Committee has continued early attempts to define Nevada Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus as "not the right fit for Nevada" in her prospective campaign against Republican Rep. Jon Porter in the 3rd Congressional District.

"Dina Titus lost in 2006 during a Democrat tidal wave," Julie Shutley, NRCC deputy communications director, said in a statement. "With her record and political baggage, her candidacy for Congress will be over before it even begins."
