With just over eight weeks to go before Nevada’s primary election, let’s check in on the U.S. Senate race against Harry Reid, disclosing first that I’ve contributed to Danny Tarkanian, Sharron Angle and Sue Lowden’s campaigns.
Garn Mabey’s candidacy is a bad April Fool’s day joke. Bill Parson is a solid constitutionalist but not viable. And Chad Christensen appears to believe the Mormon vote is his path to victory. Not likely.
John Chachas is a wealthy New Yorker who keeps telling everybody what great credentials he has to be a U.S. Senator. But instead of running for one of the TWO open U.S. Senate seats in his home state, he opted for commuting to his birthplace, trying to buy one on the cheap.
Chachas and his family don’t live here. He doesn’t work here. He doesn’t shop here. His kids don’t go to school here. And if he loses the primary, I bet he’ll leave here, never to be seen or heard from again. He’s also the only Republican candidate in the race who refuses to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. Oh, and he maxed out to Obama. Stick a fork in him.
If it’s true that slow and steady wins the race, Sharron Angle would win this one by a “hare.” But while Angle is arguably the most conservative candidate in the race, this is not about who’s the most conservative candidate in the race. When Republican primary voters go to the polls in June, the big question will be, “Who has the best chance to beat Reid in November?” And if the race didn’t include Clark County, Angle might credibly be the answer. But it does, so she probably isn’t.
If distorting your opponent’s record, twisting her words and generally running a dishonest, scorched earth negative campaign in violation of Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment is what you’re looking for in a Republican candidate, Danny Tarkanian is your guy (visit www.TarkTales.com). But when push comes to shove, I don’t believe GOP primary voters will reward that sort of bad-boy behavior.
Which brings us to Sue Lowden.
Lowden’s not as conservative as Angle, or a constitutionalist like Parson. She’s not Mormon like Christensen. She hasn’t put up a million dollars like Chachas. And she hasn’t been willing to “go rogue” like Tarkanian.
But Lowden’s more than conservative enough and can raise the money to be competitive in the general election. And although she’s opted not to sink into a primary muck fight with a fellow Republican, she’s no shrinking violet either. She will give as good as she gets in a race against Reid.
Sue Lowden is the Nevada conservative who can win in November. And if that’s what Republican primary voters are looking for on June 8th, that’s who they’ll nominate.
What a surprise Chuck that you would come out and pick Sue Lowden as your favorite. Give me a break. You are so tied to her you should have just stayed out of this race because most know your opinion is biased. By the way, now that I am no longer in the race and back on talk radio let me give you an invitation to come on the show for a nice friendly conservative discussion.
The gauntlet is once again cast to the Oriole or is that humming bird. Will they finish last again? GO RED SOX HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Opening day is tonight!!
Yikes….just yikes.
have looked at your article,met several candidates ,If this is the best we have to offer then America is in serious trouble , when asked about cutting jobs in the state,county and city levels the answer was yes more cuts to the life blood of our state economy instead of 4 day work weeks to cut energy cost by 20 percent all the current politicians new old and candidates are total idiots .our state and country is doomed. job cuts period are a wave and trickle down and when that happens income loss starts the insanity all over again.Any fool with basic math and science skills know this ,it is taught at the earliest ages .lesson cause and effect , action reaction was I the only person awake during these teachings . no job cuts no more loss of ground dig in move forward ,dont use the examples from the crackhead in the whitehouse , he’s a drug addict he has an excuse
Chad Christensen is the best guy to beat Harry Reid. Replace the old, tired, liberal, mormon, and put in the young, energetic, conservative, mormon. Plus Chad’s never lost an election like the other candidates.
Chad didn’t know all the facts and anyone that is willing to layoff 1 worker is not ready to tackle this job. the current government city,state,and federal should be concerned with keeping it current base and growing an better economy from that . Any layoffs are a retreat and will only create a another wave of layoffs and hurt are state economy more making fewer taxes and more layoffs and fewer taxes and more layoffs and fewer taxes. is anyone getting the picture, all the current candidates are not equipped to handle this problem ,including Chad , however the worst choice by miles is Sue Lowden she has no qualifications and totally ignorant to things effecting our state when asked questions she was like a deer in the headlights,totally blind to anything that isn’t Sue. The nerve!she has no business in this election
Bill Parson has my vote!
