Nevada Gubernatorial Race (500 Likely Voters):

Jim Gibson (D): 42%
Jim Gibbons (R): 39%

Jim Gibbons (R): 45%
Dina Titus (D): 39%

MOE is +-4.5%.

Jim Gibbons is the Republican congressman from NV-01. Gibson is the mayor of Henderson, NV and is known as a very conservative Democrat. Titus is the more traditionally Democratic minority leader of the State Senate.

Didn't he make some nutty remarks about using "liberals" as human shields in Iraq?

Yeah something like that.  But if Gibbons runs it looks probable his district will stay GOP (it voted for Bush by 16%), but there is slight pickup potential there.

Isn't Gibbons' district in southern Nevada??? I thought that Kerry won the whole southern part of the state?

I double-checked.  It's northern, rural Nevada.  However, Gibbons ran 40 points ahead of Bush in 2004.

Nevada is a state in which the Democratic Party is becoming stronger and stronger.  This will be a close election.

His district includes everything outside Clark County and everything that isn't Las Vegas or its suburbs.  It includes Reno and Carson City.
