Ensign's a lock.

Pure wishful thinking.

What does this mean and how is it relevant?  Normally challengers are relative 'nobodies' compared to the incumbent.

Check the new M-D poll.

One other factor I'd like to through open to discussion is the green factor.  I did campaign work in Reno/Carson area.  Not only is it filled with ex-N.Californians who cashed out, it also has a lot of Sierra Club'ers who might be seen as conservative otherwise.  How is Bush's atrocious environmental record going to play?  Can Ensign be tagged for this?  Kerry seemed to write off the state after a lot of misrepresentation on his mining fee stance, but seemed very able to draw crossover voters on environment issues in the North.  Comments?

Let's face it, Carter has less of a chance as Ford or Webb or Pederson do.  He will not win.  But he can make Ensign campaign. The new approval ratings came out for Allen, and Ensign the most difficult races for the Dems to win, and they are above 50%.

I still don't see how name recognition could be that much of a positive factor for Jack Carter.  Don't forget that Nevada voted against his father both times.

Ancient history.  Jimmy Carter is viewed positively now after the intervening decades of horrific right-wing control.

No he's not.  At least pretend to have a connection to reality.

People like him(Jimmy Carter) as a person, but they despise him as a president.
