"Although Nevadans yawn at quickie divorces, drive-through weddings, topless showgirls and legalized prostitution, the divorce proceedings between Gov. Jim Gibbons (R) and his estranged wife, Dawn, have transfixed folks here like a daytime soap opera," the Los Angeles Times reports.
"The governor won't face voters until 2010 -- a political eternity -- but GOP activists fret that his purported philandering could hurt the party in November. What if fed-up Republicans pare back campaign contributions -- or stay home on election day? That could flip control of the state Senate, where Republicans cling to a slender majority -- or even hand Nevada, which twice voted for President Bush, to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama."

I would have thought that Dina Titus would have defeated him in a rematch of 2006, but now she's running for NV-3 then it will probably not be her. So who, Oscar Goodman?
