Bye, bye Harry.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Barracuda Senior endorses Baby Shark.

[SoConPubbie]

He’d get my vote if I lived in Nevada.

Was just reading on Rasmussen that in Arizona, it’s McCain 48-Hayworth 41. I don’t think that’s too bad for Hayworth given the berating he’s been receiving from McCain.

Tark Sr. had the greatest comment ever on the hypocrisy in NCAA basketball enforcement:

"The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, that it's going to put Cleveland State on probation for three more years"

If young Tark is a chip off the old block-WATCH OUT WASHINGTON!

[Sarah Barracuda]

I like Tarkanian a lot. Sarah has already said that she likes both Lowden and Tarkanian so she is feels torn between both candidates. I will be happy with either winner. The sooner Dingy Harry is gone the better

[americanophile]

Think twice:

Lowden contributions to Harry Reid:

Paul Lowden.....Harry Reid $1000 (General)1995
Paul Lowden.....Harry Reid $1000 (Primary)1995
Suzanne Lowden.....Harry Reid $1000 (Primary)1989
Paul Lowden.....Harry Reid $1000 (General)1989
Paul Lowden.....Harry Reid $1000 (Primary)1989
Suzanne Lowden.....Harry Reid $1000 (General)1989
Suzanne Lowde.....Harry Reid $1000 (General)1986
Paul Lowde.....Harry Reid $1000 (Primary)1986
Paul Lowden.....Harry Reid (Senate race)$1000 (General)1986
Suzanne Lowden.....Harry Mason Reid (House race)$1000 (Primary)1984
Suzanne Lowde.....Harry Mason Reid$1000 (General)1984
Paul Lowden.....Harry Mason Reid$1000 1983
Paul Lowden.....Harry Mason Reid$1000 1982

I and my husband are voting Tark. Lowden is a closet dem. After the caucus last year, a lot of Nevada republicans are extremely angry. I don’t think Lowden has a realistic chance.

[Sarah Barracuda]

She has..WOW, I did not know this, then I am only gonna root for Tarkanian then and I hope Sarah supports him just like her father is doing

Personally, I prefer Danny Tarkanian to Sue Lowden, but I would never call her a closet Democrat. Re: the money donated to Harry Reid, I have to note on her behalf that back in the years (21 years ago) when she donated to him, Reid was not a flaming liberal. He was generally viewed as a moderate Democrat. He was even pro-life. It was not until later that he sold his soul to the Devil for power and recanted of any particle of moderation. Furthermore, around that time period Lowden & her husband owned a casino. That they donated to his campaign is not shocking. A lot of businesses try to cover their bases and donate to both sides.

"Personally, I prefer Danny Tarkanian to Sue Lowden, but I would never call her a closet Democrat."

I didn't.

[Nevadan]

No, you didn’t, and I didn’t mean to imply that you did. Someone else made that comment, and I was intending to respond to them while using the info in your post re: donations.

[DaxtonBrown]

Just so everyone has a heads up, I have written a book about Harry Reid that should be devastating. It will be available at Searchlight Tea Party. Excerpts will be published on FreeRepublic starting in April.

I don’t want to cross the boundaries for self promoting, but anyone from the Tarkanian campaign please Freepmail me - it’s a huge amount of opposition research. A lot going on here. Very juicy details, but waiting for the right time to make the big push.

And no, I didn’t really join just a month ago.

My comment about being a closet democrat wasn’t about her donations, it was about her politics. To me, she is a RINO and thus essentially a closet democrat. I’ve looked at, and know her record since I live in Las Vegas. A vote for her is a vote for a moderate dem. I won’t do it.

[rae4palin]

Sarah is so irrelevant & unpopular that a candidate in Nevada covets her Dad’s endorsement.

[americanophile]

No kidding ;)

[americanophile]

No worries :)

[americanophile]

It’s not bad at all. McCain just isn’t trusted anymore on key issues like illegal immigration - the ‘reform’ of which we know is coming down the pike.
