Yucca has been used by Nevada's liberal propagandists for close to 20 years to give the Senate morons like Harry Reid and Richard Bryan, both of who's Senate careers were built on that Big Lie. That FACT is that Yucca is completely harmless, aside from the propaganda boost it has given to the state's liberals. Now the "outrage" is limited to a few diehard journalists who built careers on it, and some fading liberal politicians, soon to be gone.
The pols on both sides register their "official" opposition, and go on about their business. Guinn runs virtually unopposed. Bush, who won Nevada comfortably in 2000, will win 2/3 of the vote here in 2004. Bryan retired in shame after his pro-Clinton impeachment vote, and Reid will "sadly" announce his retirement before 2004, rather than face the Bush Tsunami.
Yucca as an issue is, indeed, finally over here. The key issues are the final vote to amend the state constitution to ban homosexual marriage (which will enhance conservative turnout), the building reaction over attempts to "expand revenues" that will be slipped into the legislative session after the elections, and whether or not your local assemblyman or state senator passed the acid test of tort reform in the recent special session. The next steps in tort reform are liable to be the big issue in the 2003 session, after the "revenue" scam is laughed away... |
