Our faux Republican Governor scores under 40% on fiscal and education reform issues according to the Nevada Policy Research Institute. With a state legislature run by Democrats, Nevada has a Democrat lock on the State, despite the fact that there are many registered Republicans and conservative “decline-to-state”s.
It seems Governor Sandoval seeks to emulate the out-of-office-with-nowhere-to-go Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sandoval is a U.S. citizen, so maybe he poses to be a V.P. for the likes of Rudy Guiliani or Lamar Alexander. He’s got a Hispanic background but with nowhere near the popularity of a Marco Rubio who brings a possible 29 electoral votes compared to Nevada’s 6. So Sandoval compromises for what reason? To stay in office?
On a positive note, congratulations and accolades go to the top ten in the legislature, who all happen to be Republicans:
1 Michele Fiore, Assembly, score: 87.13%
2 Jim Wheeler, Assembly, score: 84.44%
3 John Ellison, Assembly, score: 80.40%
4 Wesley Duncan, Assembly, score: 78.18%
5 Pete Livermore, Assembly, score: 77.71%
6 Don Gustavson, Senate, score: 73.00%
7 Barbara Cegavske, Senate, score: 71.67%
8 James Settelmeyer, Senate, score: 70.35%
9 John Hambrick, Assembly, score: 69.28%
10 Ira Hansen, Assembly, score: 59.33%
Seven Republicans score below 50%. So much for a party platform! Here are the Republican flunkees: Lynn Stewart, Joe Hardy, Scott Hammond, Ben Kieckhefer, Michael Roberson, Greg Brower and Mark Hutchison. Will Republican voters or party faithful discipline these candidates? Unlikely.
