When I saw this sign in my neighborhood today I thought, "My sentiments exactly" I am happy to know that my fellow neighbors feel the same way. It takes a lot of courage to express your views in this manner one full year before the election.
The matter at hand is, who is "anyone." Depsite Harry's approval rating in the low thirties, the Clark County Republican party has yet to come up with anyone noteworthy or even generally well know to challenge Harry. Here is a list from the Dump Harry PAC of the top 5:
Sue Lowden (2-1): Clearly the new front-runner. But can she put together a winning campaign team and navigate the minefield of at least a dozen other serious and credible candidates? Remember, it's not the best candidate who necessarily wins, but the best campaign.
Sharron Angle* (4-1): Slow and steady. Angle has been quiet over all the recent developments, but that’s because she’s single-minded of purpose. If Lowden doesn’t post or falters before the first turn, Angle will be right there to take advantage.
Danny Tarkanian (7-1): Stumbled badly out of the gate last week by announcing his announcement from out-of-state, then announcing from behind the gates of his upper-class gated community a couple days later, and then announcing yesterday a town hall meeting on health care without announcing where or when the event would be held. On the other hand, he does have a very active Internet communications network established and could use that to advantage once he gets his sea biscuit) legs back under him.
Mark Amodei (15-1): Perhaps the only remaining potentially serious candidate not to make a decision on running yet. However, Amodei was trolling the DC waters for potential support just a few weeks ago and has been quietly interviewing for possible campaign staffers should he jump into the fray. With Heller’s decision not to run, expect Amodei to make his decision soon. He can’t afford to lose any more time in the fundraising department.
John Chachas (50-1): Rumored to have a half-dozen fundraising events scheduled for the rest of this month. However, all of them are out of state - as is the candidate’s official residence. With Lowden and Baby Tark now in the running, the Wall Street banker’s theme song ought to be: “Won’t you come home, John Chachas, won’t you come home?”
Have you heard of any of these people? This is the main obastacle. There is no frontrunner from the Republican side. They are floundering around united only by the desire to kick Harry out. Get it together! The election is only 1 year away!
