The Martha Coakley campaign all over again.
How’s that going to work out for ya, Harry.
Will democrats CHANGE voting laws before the elections.?
Oh yeah, ole Pinky was whining about Palin and the Tea Party smackdown in Searchlight. Pinky said that Nevadans are going to decide who is the next US Senator in NV and not the likes of the tea party foke.
Looks like Pinky has no idea where Nevada is and has mistaken NYC for Las Vegas.....
