Sherman Frederick, (See photo to the left, taken from the RJ website)publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, writes:
…it’s plain that the decision already has been made over at the Las Vegas Sun to do everything possible, journalism be damned, to elect Rory Reid next governor of Nevada.
Every morning I get the Review-Journal on my doorstep. Neatly tucked inside is the Las Vegas Sun.
Mr. Frederick is an outspoken man of the Republican view who isn’t bashful about presenting his opinion. Good for him, I like that.
Mr. Frederick accuses the Sun of touting the election of Rory Reid (photo-right) as Nevada’s next Governor.
The Sun article presents some criticism of Nevada Assembly Speaker’s, Barbara Buckley’s performance in the last legislation session. It also points out some positive accomplishments of Mr. Reid.
Mrs. Buckley’s defense of the legislative accomplishments are also covered.
Mr. Sherman’s indication is that Rory Reid, son of Senator Harry Reid, is the “insider” candidate of the Democratic Party.
The overall view of the Buckley-Reid potential contest for the Democratic Party’s candidate for Governor of Nevada appears accurate to me. Neither Reid nor Buckley have formally announced their candidacy, but it can be expected in the future, when each of them are ready to declare. So far no Republican has formally announced they are running for the office. Governor Gibbons may re-run, though he is toast. Either Reid or Buckley would be an improvement over Gibbons.
