They really couldn't find anyone else?

[Joe Republic]

There's no point; Sandoval is too popular.  Ross Miller is waiting until 2018 when the race is open.

The Dems are paying closer attention to the other statewide offices.

[Indy Texas]

He's one of the few sane Republican governors we have at this point.

If anything, the Democrats should be subtly suggesting he cross over.

[SWE]

No reason to waste viable candidates and valuable resources on a Safe R seat

[Niemeyerite]

But is any of these candidates sane at least?

[TX Conservative Dem]

Nevada Democrats should just wait until 2018 when Sandoval is termed out.

Don't waste $$$$ on a hopeless campaign this year.

[moderatevoter]

Aren't they mainly spending on the Lt-Governor's race? So if a Democrat wins that, then Sandoval is dissuaded from going against Reid in 2016.

[TX Conservative Dem]

Sandoval doesn't want to run against Reid in 2016 all because of the prospect of a Democrat winning the LG's office this fall ?

[Miles]

LG is the higher priority, though contending with possible Governor coattails makes it more challenging.
