Sandoval won’t seek that which he can’t have and doesn't deserve by Chuck Muth February 6, 2014 Before we get started today, I have a couple announcements to make… First, I will not be seeking an Academy Award for my performance in “Jenna’s 12th Birthday Party” video this year.  Secondly, I will not be seeking the Miss Congeniality Award in the Miss America Pageant.  And lastly, I will not be seeking a Nobel Peace Prize for my successful intervention in Kristen and CJ’s dispute over whose turn it was to empty the dishwasher. And while we’re on the subject of making announcements that we’re not seeking that which we are highly unlikely to get… Gov. Brian Sandoval (R&R-Partners) recently announced he will not seek the official endorsement of the Nevada Republican Central Committee for his re-election campaign.  Instead, he said committee members should just look at his record. But of course, that’s the problem!  Sandoval’s record is completely out of whack with the Republican Party platform.  Raising taxes, expanding government, implementing ObamaCare and giving driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally.  With a record like that, Sandoval would have as much chance of getting the party’s official endorsement as Sen. Harry Reid. It also doesn’t help that the Republican-in-Name-Only governor has not only not helped build the Nevada GOP the way Sen. Reid has the Democrats; and not only has ignored, stiff-armed and back-slapped the Central Committee’s grassroots volunteers…he’s actively worked to cripple and knee-cap the party so his high-paid consultants can get all the work instead. Speaking of which, Sandoval’s top handler, Mike Slanker, is up for Hypocrite of the Year for his performance in a Washington Post interview in which he said the governor was not seeking the party’s official endorsement and would instead rely on the primary election “where all Republicans have a voice.” Which is laughable since it’s Sandoval himself who brought all this endorsement stuff on by hand-picking and endorsing a candidate in the lieutenant governor race over six months ago even though there were three other clearly viable, clearly qualified and clearly interested Republicans publicly exploring in the race! So according to Monsieur Slanker, it’s OK for Sandoval to endorse candidates rather than let “all Republicans have a voice” but it’s not OK for GOP Central Committee members – who ARE the voice of grassroots Republicans, precinct by precinct - to do the same? This is the first time the Nevada Republican Party has stepped forward to provide much-needed leadership in the party’s primaries, and the process still needs some tweaking to do it “right” in the future.  But bravo to Central Committee members for stepping up like this.  Pre-primary endorsements are long overdue. Now I have to go prepare my request for a Grammy for my shower performance of “Somewhere over the Rainbow.”  I think I’m a lock this year! (P.S.
