LEADING NEVADA REPUBLICAN TO BE INDICTED.... For most of the last two years, the most embarrassing political scandals in Nevada have revolved around beleaguered Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons, whose personal and professional life have been a bit of a mess. The good news is, the latest political scandal has nothing to do with Nevada's Republican governor -- this time, it's Nevada's Republican lieutenant governor.
Krolicki also told the AP that he is "wholly innocent," and believes the state's attorney general, who is a Democrat, is targeting him for partisan reasons. Nevertheless, Krolicki has made no secret of his intention to challenge Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) in 2010, and has been expected to enjoy the support of the Republican establishment in Nevada and D.C. Facing criminal charges may put a crimp in those plans. —Steve Benen 9:55 AM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (7)Comments
Krolicki is the guy McCain picked to head up his Nevada campaign. He also dissed Gibbons by having Krolicki introduce him at a rally, because Gibbons had too much controversy surrounding him.

Posted by: dooflow on November 25, 2008 at 10:19 AM | PERMALINKMy first thought was that it is good that he be indicted before Obama replaces US Attorneys, since presidents usually consult senators of each state. While that won't be Obama's problem, I see the State AG is also a Dem, so the charges of politicization will be there. After the Dem primary there, I suspect there will be plenty of ammo. Posted by: Danp on November 25, 2008 at 10:23 AM | PERMALINKIf the Dems in Nevada don't come up with a candidate to run against Reid, then a corrupt Republican might actually be a good replacement. His vote can be bought. Posted by: jen f on November 25, 2008 at 10:48 AM | PERMALINKNewt Gingrich is on the move. Got a call today from "Newt Gingrich at American Solutions" 1-877-289-9613. I don't know what he wants. Posted by: mickiki on November 25, 2008 at 10:51 AM | PERMALINKI love the use of the typical GOP projection. The justice system is targeting him for partisan reasons! Perhaps, but too bad - that was SOP during the Bush tenure. If you were okay with the rule of law working that way then, you have no right to complain about it now.
