For the two years we kept updating a list of individuals who were talking about running -- or others were talking about their running -- for office in Nevada in 2006.  We actually began looking at 16 possible candidates for Governor.  For the sake of history (and trivia) here is the final list of those who became candidates.  Included are links to their websites -- some of which are still operational.
