Keep on Moving Forward

“No, I don’t think you’re gonna be able to go anywhere after the election.” And with that, my inquiry as to whether or not the state of Lisa’s pregnancy would preclude us from taking a much-needed vacation after the 2008 campaign was settled: we would be staying in Reno for the likely premature delivery of […]

Watch KOLO’s analysis of John Gwaltney’s dirty campaign

In case you missed it last Friday night, check out this “Ad Check” clip from KOLO News 8 on John Gwaltney’s outlandish negative campaign mailer, about which I’ve previously blogged.

KOLO News 8 ran an “Ad Watch” analysis last night and declared the mailer “Misleading and Unfair.” You can watch the clip by visiting www.kolotv.com and selecting the “Ad Watch” […]

Here comes Gwaltney’s mud, and boy does it stink

“Mailer”, the text message came in from Lisa.
“Gwaltney?” I replied to my wife, tapping on my phone.
“Yup, you = Brianna’s death” was her response that came across the screen.
I got up from my office chair and called my wife who then read the following, one of many bizarre and baseless attacks issued in a negative […]

Denver: the day after

What can I say? Yes, it was amazing-Senator Obama gave a forceful address last night that took the challenges facing our country head on. I’m glad I made the trip to witness the historic event. It was good to share some time with the Nevada delegation that made our Silver State proud here in Denver.
Today, […]

Greetings from Denver!

As you read this, I’m making my way to downtown Denver to join the Nevada delegates at the Democratic National Convention. On tap for the day? Waiting in lots of lines with 75,000 people to enter INVESCO field to watch Barack Obama’s historical nomination acceptance speech. 6 hours? 8 hours? Who knows…
I’m so proud of […]
