Character to be Deciding Factor in Nevada's Gubernatorial Race

From Las Vegas Now:

Nevada's Gubernatorial Race Could Be a Dead Heat

The race for governor of Nevada is getting closer. New polls show Republican Congressman Jim Gibbons with a six-point lead over Democrat Dina Titus.

Congressman Gibbons has two issues he's deflecting. He denies assaulting a woman in a Las Vegas parking garage and his people say eleven years ago his wife hiring an undocumented worker was looked into and dealt with.

Dina Titus jumped on the issues with campaign ads. She says voters are shifting in her direction.

But now Metro police claim they have surveilance tapes from the garage where Mazzeo claims the assault took place. If the tapes exonerate Gibbons, it will prove that Titus wasn't smart enough to take a high road position. It would have been so easy to simply admit the allegations appear serious but that she had faith that the facts would come out in subsequent investigation. They might not but if the allegations blew up, she would not be covered with egg. The only winner in this mess is attorney Richard Wright, who has made sure that a day does not go by without his free advertising, I mean an on air interview with the media.
