Sandoval won’t seek
that which he can’t have and doesn't deserve
by Chuck Muth

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.
Happy 103rd birthday, Ronald Reagan!)
