Look out, little Barrick Goldfish! The sharks are beginning to circle!
They must smell blood!
Or incompetence and failure.
The Sun fish-wrapper was stuffed full of Gubewannabes today. First off, the ever humble Mayor of Las Vegas was working on appointing his better half as his successor as he again (and again and again) teases the local fourth estaters with rumors of a Gube run. (Sun) One suspects, however, that he would actually prefer to slip in a non-term-limited clone instead.
Up north, "big dog" Rory Reid, bearing a last name that the rurals love to hate, is doing some pre-gubeathon reconnaissance. According to the Sun, he's out to quash the Democratic opposition just as the tank is beginning to fill up. Other candidates swimming about: Speakstress Barbara Buckley, SoS Ross Miller, Krolicki nemesis and State Treasurer Kate Marshall, and AG Catherine Cortez Masto.
Meanwhile, the ever hopeful Jon Ralston calls on the rich to solve our problems for us. More specifically, he wants some local money-bags to step in and finance the recall of the little Barrick Goldfish before the next legislature meets. That is, before the little fish proposes a flat budget for the next legislature and fails to stabilize the state's tax structure, forever tying the state to the business cycles of builders and casinos. (Sun) Not miners, of course, just builders and casinos, and only just the littlest bit each.
Course, it's too late for the next legislature. Even if they started now, the money-bags couldn't get the recall ramped up in time to net the little goldfish.
Nonetheless, they are certainly welcome to buy a t-shirt for the occasion. Come on, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Lanni. Buy two! Better yet, let's talk bulk discount.
