Goodman/Cashell or should it be Cashell/Goodman?
Monday, July 13, 2009 at 12:11 Sometimes you can gain significant political insight just hanging out at home enjoying your favorite adult beverage and answering the telephone. Actually, I nearly didn’t pick-up the call late Friday afternoon when I noticed Caller ID was blocked. But I did (since I have some dubious friends who have their ID blocked -- probably for good reason) and I began talking with a relatively professional interviewer from some generically-named political polling firm. 
Naturally, I agreed to be interviewed – to let my opinions be heard and hoping to discern who was paying for a poll this far distant from any election. Once I established that I was, indeed, registered and voted frequently, the survey began with rather typical questions about what I saw as the important issues facing Nevada. Right off, I was intrigued when the structure suggested that the survey was state-wide in focus. I was quizzed on my opinions about a range of topics related to education – both K-12 and higher ed; how I well I thought this year’s Legislative Session did in addressing the state’s problems; and whether or not I thought the state was “balancing the budget by taking money from local government services I quickly jumped to the tentative conclusion that the poll was probably being done for Commissioner Rory Reid’s likely campaign for Governor.
We soon were into a series of direct, horse-race questions about the upcoming election. “If the election was today and the candidates were Gov. Jim Gibbons and Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid, who would you vote for?” I was asked. Next, the same with Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley as the Dem Nominee. After that, there were a couple questions about Reid and Buckley – including whether the fact that Reid might be running at the same time his father was on the ballot for U.S. Senate would make me more likely or less likely to vote for him.
Now, I was even more convinced that it must be the campaigns of Buckley or Reid who had commissioned the poll.
Then, the interviewer went back through the whole series of “who would you vote for” questions – but this time including the option of Independent Candidate Bob Cashell Mayor of Reno – followed by same questions but with the Independent being Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.
Well, they must be taking Oscar seriously!” I thought to myself.
Next, there were a couple questions about my general attitude towards candidates who were not nominated by one of the two major parties.
When the survey went so far as to ask whether I thought Goodman should be the nominee for Governor and Cashell the nominee for Lt. Gov or should it be Cashell/Goodman – I began to reassess my hasty conclusion.
In retrospect, I would now hypothesize that the polling is actually being done by Friends of Goodman and Cashell - no other campaign would have reason to ask that last question.
And I would conclude that the “Independent Option” isn’t just a whimsical hallucination of the Mayors. Rather, they are looking at it very analytically.
Wouldn’t we all love to know what results this polling is showing? Such a candidacy would not only dramatically shake-up the races for Governor & Lt. Governor – but could spill over and affect the outcomes of the elections for other offices including, possibly both of our U.S. Senate seats.
Run Oscar Run!

My name is Jesse Cantero and I am a Democrat candidate for the Nevada State Assembly in District 8 for '2010.
I am 37 years old and I have been a Nevada resident for over 12 years and a resident of district 8 for 3 years.
Our State is changing rapidly and as competition mounts for tourist dollars and for attracting the companies that employ our citizens, we need good leaders.
We have to continue to bring companies to Nevada that will provide jobs to our citizens throughout the state. A leader of success in such environments is needed. I am that leader!
We need leaders that we can trust, leaders that will do the right thing. We need legislators that can help to get our state out of financial difficulty and record unemployment.
We need a leader that can help to increase our state tourism dollars, someone that can help with ideas to decrease criminal activities. We need to elect someone that can help fix the highest school dropout rates of our generation, and that can help stop our state from being the highest foreclosure state in the nation. My promise to the voters is that if I am elected I will be part of the solution and not part of the problem! You can count on that!
2010 will be the year that history marks a re-birth of honest, responsible citizens re-engaging in their government and putting a stop to the runaway spending of both parties.
I know that we will continue to fight hard for the values we share and that we will come out on top. THANK YOU as always for your continued friendship and support.
Sincerely,
Jesse Cantero, Nevada State Assembly District 8
