TUBE TIP
For all you readers on the other side of the pond, I’m scheduled to be pontificating and prognosticating on the UK’s BBC News in the 5 o’clock hour Pacific from the Peppermill on the Strip. Dial me up on the telly!
READERS WRITE
“Chuck, a few months ago there was an Occupy Wall Street group here in Carson City. I walked up to a young guy who was holding a sign that said ‘Where are the jobs?’ I asked him, ‘Do you really want a job?’ He said yes. I asked if he had transportation and he said yes.
“Then I told him to get into his transportation and drive up to an I-80 overpass in Reno and take the phone numbers of the 80% of the semis going by that had signs on the back that said hiring. He said he didn't know how to drive a big rig. I then told him to look at the 80% of the 80% that had other signs that said will train. Then he said he didn't want to be away from home that long. Nuff said.”

WHAT I’LL BE WATCHING FOR TONIGHT
Will professional wrestling’s former CEO, Linda McMahon, prevail in her longshot effort to pick up a much-needed seat for the GOP in Connecticut? Woooo!!!
Will incumbent GOP Sen. Scott Brown hold onto his seat deep inside enemy territory in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts?
Will my friend and tea party fav Rep. Allen West prevail in his newly redistricted congressional seat in Florida?
Will Richard Mourdock in Indiana and Todd Akin in Missouri overcome their foot-in-mouth “inarticulations” on social issues and win seats they were widely expected to win?
Will Republicans and Gov. Scott Walker regain control of the state senate in Wisconsin?
Will anti-earmarker Rep. Jeff Flake hold on and hold the GOP U.S. Senate seat in Arizona?
Will rising star conservative Mia Love succeed in knocking off a Democrat incumbent and win a congressional seat in Utah?
Will Question 7, expanding gambling to the Potomac River shoreline just outside DC, pass?
Will California’s “tax the rich/feed the poor” Prop 30 pass, thus sparking another wave of refugees who could fill many of the many vacant homes in Las Vegas?
Will Danny Tarkanian overcome the tremendous voter registration advantage enjoyed by his affirmative action opponent, Steven Horsford, in Nevada’s new 4thcongressional district?
Will Nevada State Sen. Michael Roberson be crowned king by winning the four net seats he predicted to become Majority Leader?
Will GOP candidate Phil Regeski pull off a major upset in Assembly District 41 and give Nevada’s movement conservatives something to celebrate this cycle?
THE HORSFORD FILES
One final Horsford Files entry…and it’s a doozy. Here’s an excerpt of an email Democrat candidate Steven Horsford sent out late last week:
“We knew that if we took the lead in this race, they would resort to lies. Now we've got to do our part and get the truth out to voters and keep Illinois 12th district Democratic. Please chip in whatever you can before tonight's deadline: -Steven”
Alas, the race-hustling affirmative action candidate isn’t running for the 12th district in Illinois; he’s running for the 4th district in Nevada. What a ‘shroom. And that’s no lie!
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“I've had a foot in my mouth plenty of times, but it's always been my own!” -David Axelrod mocking former Clinton aide Dick Morris (Hat tip: Morning Score)
