Richard Disney

Richard Disney is scheduled to appear on Nevada Newsmakers hosted by Sam Shad as part of the Pundit Panel this Wednesday, March 21st, 2007.

Tune in to see the discussion about the latest Nevada controversy!

In the ongoing correspondence between Nevada State Senator Dennis Nolan, and myself (which even spurred some debate on Nevada Newsmakers) he is beginning to concede some of the points made earlier. Here is his latest response:

Mr. Disney,

I concede that bloggers do have an ever increasing impact on grass roots campaigns. I also acknowledge that with a coordinated efforts between the electeds, the party and republican bloggers we “could” have a much more effective impact in our republican gains. What I said to the press was, again… “”I don’t think any
legislator is too worried about what cyberspace bloggers are doing.” There was no personal affront to you or any other blogger. It simply, like it or not was a statement of fact. Why should we, particularly the republicans, be “worried” about what you, “the conservative bloggers”, are doing? Hopefully we are all working towards the same goal. Which would include working together and not cannibalizing one another. ( a habit we republicans have perfected in this state and which the democrats have turned into a spectator sport!).

I also did not at any time say or write: ” that cyberspace bloggers are irrelevant” OR It is naive at best to say that “bloggers (the good, the bad and the whacko’s) have no impact.” as you imply. What I said again,was; I don’t think any legislator is too worried about what cyberspace bloggers are doing.”

What I really think needs to happen we (electeds) need to get together with you (bloggers) in an organized way to understand better what you are doing and develop a strategy to work together better instead of wasting time “cannibalizing” each other. Fell free to call me if you would like to meet me here in Carson.

Dennis Nolan, Senator
