Lowden, Tarkanian and Angle may not be the GOP’s only choices (and maybe one of the three will switch to the Lt. Gov. race):
5. Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, who was cleared earlier this week of any wrongdoing in connection with his handling of a college savings program, is interested in running for the Senate, according to a source familiar with his thinking. Krolicki, who was elected governor [SIC] in 2006 , served two previous terms as state Treasurer. He had long been eyeing a potential run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) but had been sidetracked from moving forward due to the ongoing court case. Krolicki had long insisted that the charges were political in nature, noting that they were brought by state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a Reid protege. Cortez Masto’s sterling image has taken a hit as a result of the dismissal with the Las Vegas Review Journal headlining one story on the affair: “Cortez Masto’s shining star dims after Krolicki decision.” It’s not clear how badly the negative press surrounding Krolicki over the past year would impact a race against Reid but the GOP field, which is led by former state party chairwoman Sue Lowden and businessman Danny Tarkanian, is not exactly stellar.

I thought Krolicki made it plain that he was not going to run for the Senate ? I’m thinking he should keep his powder dry and run in ‘12 to replace John Ensign.
When one emerges and he/she is not a RINO, that person will be the recipient of enormous national support.
Lowden says she is pro-life, and sounds pretty convincing:
