Gibbons is such a disgrace to the State of Nevada. The only concern he has is his right to womanize and how much money can hit his pockets other than that, he has no concern for our kids, for our cities or for the State.

And this is the same man that said he will run for another term. He needs to come out of fantasy land and see what almost everyone in the State thinks of him even some of the republicans who put him in office wouldnt dare back this man now for fear they would be labled a nut job and never see reelection themselves.

I agree with the one poster here who is asking that you keep an open mind. Seems to me from what I read here, many had their mind up from the get go.
Why is it that an educated black man strikes fear in the hearts of many? We all know the republicans have had this mess for going on 8 years and it just got worse year to year. The "its my way or the highway" mode of thought is the absolutely wrong way and McCain seems to be cut from that mold also. He's the shoot first and ask questions later type of guy and that is not a leader.....thats a war monger. McCain otherwise known as Songbird in his POW days, is NOT the right choice at all.

As much as I wanted to see a woman as President and was for Clinton early on, I have to say her actions and words early on to this date have soured my hope for her winning. She has set back women many years. The multiple faces of Clinton, playing the racist card and the gender card etc. etc.
Its time for a new face. One who hasnt been courted by K-Street and hasnt used their title to acquire favors.
You can say what you want about Obama, he has fired up the young voters and thats wonderful. Its their future at stake and they need to get involved. Our Military is hurting and many of the young people are not opting to put that uniform on because they are seeing what little concern our administration has for those giving it all for their country.

Very well put. I agree that Obama may be new to politics but certainly he has the dreams and aspiration to turn the U.S. around and that is what we need right now after 7 plus years of being seen as a country without a decent ruler.
McCain is nothing but a Bush clone and Hillary is nothing but the Clintons revisited.
We need new blood not tainted with the usual problems that most seasoned politicians bring with them to the office.
After all Reagan was an actor with Hollywood values for years YET many thought he had what it took to turn the country around. Much like what we are hearing and seeing about Obama.

I am afraid that some will not want a educated black man in that office. That is something so foreign to their line of thinking they cannot grasp the idea. I pray those who think this way will put their prejudices aside and see that this change is exactly what we are looking for and need badly.

Clinton is self destructing in front of our eyes and thats not good.

She has even pumped up McCain in trying to take Obama down.

Its one thing to try and make your opponent look like that would not be a good choice over her but to pat McCain on the back and herself by saying they have what it takes to be President and saying Obama only has a speech is nonsense.

She has made one comment after another showing she is not ready for that office. I was hoping a woman could be President and still do.....just not this one.

I think Gibbons is a total embarassment for Nevada. His short time in office has proved he cannot run a state flat and simple. Gibbons left him with a surplus and we are now in the red and although the economy has taken its digs at our economy this started happening before the economy really started taking its toll.
Besides Gibbons has had one problem after another in recent years. Investigation after investigation and a very shoddy way the Vegas accusation was handled. Many think the old Sheriff was told to not press or investigate the complaint because Gibbons was running for Governor and the republican party wanted him in come hell or high water.

I say he should get out and get someone in there that has knowledge of running this state before he runs it into the poor house.

Its not a secret he is a womanizer and most of us could care less if he divorces. Dawn should have dumped his butt long ago but I truly think she wanted that office more than he did.

Renters need protection from things like this. They faithfully paid their rent and assumed it was going toward the mortgage payments. Its not fair that renters have no recourse.
Laws need to be made to protect renters from this very thing. What about an apartment complex where 40 plus tenants would have to move if the owner decided to default on the loan?
We need to see some representation for renters so they arent thrown out of their house like this. And seeing it happened to these people more than once or twice should be telling our law makers that the problem is escalating and laws need to be drawn up to help those thrown into this situation through no fault of their own.

Just last week a trailer court here in Vegas had a fire and the power lines were damaged and cut off and the owner was told to upgrade the electric before Nevada Power could reconnect the park. Well the owner said no and all the ones who owned their trailers and just rented the lots were told they need to move. Its speculated that the owner wanted to shut this place down and sell off the property and this is was his golden opportunity. I dont begrduge an owner wanting out but to put all the people there in a tight squeeze like that should be criminal. There must be a better way to handle this and our lawmakers need to put their heads together and come up with a solution.
