Gibbons Vetoes Self

Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons plans to defy nature and logic this week when he vetoes a bill which he himself proposed and supported during the Re-elect Jim Gibbons Special Session. (RGJ,Sun)

Apparently the bill was so poorly vetted by the Gube’s crack staff/re-election committee that they decided that their own idea of forcing every office in [...]

Gibbons Can Win The Primary!

The political world is abuzz over news that Jim Gibbons is within striking distance of Brian Sandoval in the Nevada GOP Goobernatorial primary race.

Well, maybe not abuzz. Mildly interested, perhaps.

According to a poll funded by Gibbons’ old pals the Retailers Association of Nevada (RAN), Gibbons in within 6 percentage points of Gibbons-wannabe Brian Sandoval:

Gibbons: 32%
sandoval [...]

Gibbons Opens Campaign Headquarters and Other Gøøblets

James Tiberius Gibbons will be opening up the official campaign HQ in Carson on Saturday March 6, 5-7pm. It’s at 305 N. Carson Street, Suite 200, Carson City. (INP) No news yet about whether the campaign will be able to pony up for a Vegas site, or even if they’ll want one.
To the right (yours, [...]

How Long Until Sandoval Concedes?

The Reno Gazette-Journal insists the Brian Sandoval is, finally, “ramping up” the campaign. (RGJ)

Well, he better hurry up. After the Guber’s fire and brimstone infomercial, his startling undermining of the spirit of campaign finance rules, and the endless divorce, Gibbons is on a media roll! He’ll keep his mug in the limelight throughout the special [...]

Picture This: Gibbons Could Win!

Huh. That pic musta been took before the divorce diet.

Yep, all us’n Nevada Republicans are giddy after governor Jim Gibbons’ campaign infomercial Monday night! Why, the way the pundits were buzzin’ afterwards, it looks like Gibbons could win, and not just the primary.

Now, it looks like the primaries will be ruled by the more extreme [...]

We Can All Be Proud: He Did Not Throw Up

Governor Jim Gibbons met the minimal standards of performance originally defined in the gube debates back in 2006 and maintained throughout his first term when giving his deposition down at the court house on Friday. Gibbons after some legal squirming was required to answer questions for four hours from Chrissy Mazzeo’s lawyer as part of [...]

Sandogibbons

I take absolutely no responsibility for today’s pic. If you must blame someone, blame Jon Ralston for coining the term “Sandogibbons” in one of those flash-thingies.

“Sandogibbons” is the tortured creation of the Rory Reid campaign designed to make Nevadans think Brian Sandoval is just some kind of Jim Gibbons’ clone, sez Ralston.

Well it won’t work, [...]

Bankrupt Ethics in the Gube Race

Ah! What would a gubernatorial race in Nevada be without allegations of wrong-doing and pay-to-play?

Yup, it’s time to dust off that Rove-frogmarch pic again, cuz two of the Republican gube-wannabes got caught playing around with their campaign contributions!

First off, there’s that guy who used to be mayor of someplace nobody in their right mind would [...]

Gibbons Reaches Out to Trial Attorneys

In a brilliant move to unsettle his opponents, especially the more sedentary ones who think anointments are still possible, Gibbons has decided to woo a constituency usually noted for their support of Democratic politicians: litigation lawyers.

Typically, Republicans, whose campaigns are heavily subsidized by hospitals, health insurance companies, and medical doctors, don’t like their Mortal Enemy, [...]

The Incredible Gube!

Yes! All RIROs and the desiccated Gibbons-core from Incline Village and environs North sing the praises of the New Gibbons!

Well, it’s not so much that he’s new. It’s just that he’s SO desperate, he’s unleashed the inner-Gibbons like he’s never released him before, except maybe in that parking garage near McCormick and Schmick’s.

It’s as if [...]
