The top two Democrat state candidates are just flat out embarrassing for Nevada Democrats. Nevada Dems are running the most negative campaigns ever seen in Clark County. Why? No record, no vision, no hope. Republican Senators Bob Beers and Joe Heck have served Nevada well over – state Democrats know that, but they don’t care – they’ll do whatever it takes to destroy these two committed, experienced, honorable public servants. From Jon Ralston at the Las Vegas Sun:
Indeed, Breeden ducked an event this week at Bob Miller Middle School and both candidates have refused to debate on “Face to Face.” I understand both Democrats recently agreed to an Oct. 16 “debate” on PBS, but only if there are no candidate-to-candidate questions. Too much margin for error in those, you know. And that — in a true through-the-looking-glass moment — has caused Beers and Heck to reconsider their attendance.
Beers, the more incendiary of the two Republicans, seems more upset, especially with a recent broadside issued by the Nevada Senate Democrats, who have been running the shadow campaign for Breeden and Copening. In a news release this week, the Democrats insisted they would repeal a bill that contained an amendment, exposed by the Sun’s J. Patrick Coolican, that benefited Beers’ former employer.
