Sandoval Way Out in Front for Nevada Governor
A new Las Vegas Review-Journal/Mason-Dixon poll in Nevada shows Brian Sandoval (R) still with a big lead over Rory Reid (D) in the race for governor, 52% to 36%.
Said pollster Brad Coker: “They might have changed one point here or one point there, but it is almost like a carbon copy of the last poll.”
A Post Drug Culture America?
Dave Weigel draws an interesting lesson from the story that Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul (R) kidnapped a woman and forced her to smoke marijuana and bow to “Aqua Buddha.”
“The anonymous woman…says she wasn’t kidnapped, and that ends the story. In the year 2010, a Republican Senate candidate in Kentucky is revealed to have played around with marijuana in his college days, and basically no one cares, apart from their appreciation of the neologism ‘Aqua Buddha.'”
“The election of Barack Obama hasn’t created a post-racial America, but has it created an America where we just assume our candidates have done drugs — and we don’t care? That’s progress!”
Quote of the Day
“Let me be clear: as a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.”
— President Obama, quoted by the Washington Post, over building a mosque near ground zero in Manhattan.
