With the last-minute, mysterious withdrawal of anointed Democrat congressional candidate Robert Daskas in the race against incumbent Republican Rep. Jon Porter, the powers-that-be appear to have settled on anointing state Senate Minority Leader Dina “Tax ’Em Til They Bleed” Titus to replace the previously anointed Daskas.
This is probably good news for Porter, as (1) I don’t believe Titus lives in Porter’s district, which certainly will become an issue in the campaign, and (2) Titus might be the ONLY Democrat who could lose to Porter this year, just as she was the ONLY Democrat who could have lost to Jim Gibbons in the gubernatorial election in 2006.
Based on Porter’s electoral performance against an unknown, inexperienced and under-funded challenger two years ago, combined with the huge voter registration advantage the D’s have piled up in the district since then, this should be a seat ripe for picking by the donkeys. But with her record, especially on taxes, and personal negatives of stratospheric proportions, Titus might just be the one, and only one, Democrat who could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in that race this year.
Run Dina, run!

Chuck,
Which is worse, someone who spends and taxes to pay for the spending or someone who spends and borrows the money from China to pay for the deficit spending?
Yes, I totally believe that spending should be brought down to revenue (income), however that does not seem to be within any Congress’ abiltity, Democratic or Republican.
Seriously.
