Scratch Bruce James from Candidates Lists says Jane Ann
Prominent Republican Bruce James who made millions in publishing; who served 4 years as head of the U.S. Government Printing Office; and who was an eager challenger to Harry Reid in 1998 (until he withdrew to support John Ensign) has moved from D.C. back home to Crystal Bay prompting many to speculate that he would again challenge Reid or that he’d run for Governor in 2010.
However, after an in-depth discussion with him, LVRJ Columnist Jane Ann Morrison is convinced he won’t be running for any public office. “Well, strike another name from the list of prominent Republicans who might be enticed into running against U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,” she says on her blog Jane Ann goes on to suggest that James wouldn’t challenge Gov. Jim Gibbons, who named him to chair the Spending and Government Efficiency (SAGE) Commission and wouldn’t even run if Gibbons doesn’t.
John Guedry Likely to Challenge Dina Titus
John Guedry, executive VP and Nevada region manager of City National Bank 
for the past two years, is resigning today “to pursue other interests in the public service arena."
According an article by Tim O'Reiley in this week’s Las Vegas Business Press, he expects to formally decide within a month whether to challenge first-term Democratic Congresswoman Dina Titus in the 2010 election on a platform of fiscal rectitude.
The 49-year-old Guedry, who was born in New Orleans, moved to Las Vegas with his family in 1974. After graduating from University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1983, he took a bank job that was the first of several he would hold in the financial services industry, including stints as a title company executive and as the owner of his own mortgage brokerage.

Nevada Needs Smart People
Save Nevada Students was created by students and friends who rightly see that we cannot stand by quietly and let, not only the education system, but all the state of Nevada be harmed for future generations by Gov. Gibbons’ proposed drastic cuts to higher education.
These folks have also created a Facebook Group called “The Nevada Higher Education Budget Cuts are threatening my future.”
I joined this group because I sincerely believe Gibbons outrageous proposed budget is threatening my future. This is not because I am a student or a part of faculty – but because I am a Nevada entrepreneur and an investor in high tech businesses.
It is a simple fact: we will not be able grow new companies here without an educated workforce. With the economy the way it is now, making sure that all Nevadans have access to the training they need has never been more critical.
Furthermore, university research can translate into job opportunities that allow more of our brightest graduates to stay in the state. Finally, spending to develop a talented, skilled workforce is of critical importance in diversifying our state’s economy and attracting globally competitive businesses that will employ our hardworking citizens of all ages.
Now, more than ever, we must invest in our future – not emasculate it. These drastic cuts are wrong for so many reasons and must be stopped.
A Speech Writer's Dilemma
In 1933, in FDR’s 1st Inaugural Address, he committed himself and his administration to a "new deal for the American people."
In 1937, he talked about a "Second New Deal" that included the WPA and Social Security.
In 1949, in his Inaugural Address, Truman first used the term “Fair Deal”
In 1961, JFK reiterated his call for the relentless pursuit of a “New Frontier” that he had first mentioned during his acceptance speech at the Dem convention.
In 1965, LBJ rededicated himself to do "the best I can to heal old wounds and to reach for the Great Society”.
Knowing what a serious student of political history Barack Obama is, what will be the phrase that he wants remembered?
