Democrats came out swinging Thursday, attacking the presumptive Republican nominee for governor a full year and a half before the election.
The Nevada Democratic Party is trying to use Rep. Jim Gibbons' own words against him.
"This is about making sure people don't forget what Jim Gibbons said," party spokesman Jon Summers said at a Thursday news conference to announce the placement of three billboards around the state attacking Gibbons.
Gibbons, through a spokeswoman, declined to comment.
Two billboards in Las Vegas and one in Reno take Gibbons to task for saying recently, "It's just too damn bad we didn't buy them a ticket" of people who wanted to be human shields in Iraq.
The Democratic Party also has a Web site,
www.gibbonsfacts.com, that seeks to make Gibbons look bad.
