NV-02 special election: 9/13

[Lunar]

Don't worry guys, this Amodei guy is already giving off pretty strong Sharon Angle 2.0 vibes (this time with added racism!):

I guess subtitles were considered too burdensome for the target group of this ad.

I know it's old news, but that ad's just terrible. Terrible.  Screw the xenophobia, it just feels cheap and cheesy.

You want that to be the ad that introduces you to the district's voters? Really? Who's running this campaign??

Marshall starts the month with $200,000 on hand, Amodei $60,000

Of course there will be additional outside money on both sides.

Not bad. Even though he's not a statewide elected official, Amodei should really have better fundraising connections if anything, from his history of running the State GOP and its connections to Reno-area money.

Democrats have done well in special elections across the country lately, except for Hawaii where the GOP candidate won with an unimpressive plurality. Without knowing anything about Nevada politics, I have to wonder if union strength will aid the Democrats in what will bound to be another low turnout affair.
