Chuck Todd's Race Ranking: 9
“We've seen two polls this week, both showing Gibbons ahead but Titus making gains. The "Friday the 13th" cocktail waitress debacle is not going away. Gibbons can only hope that folks vote "None of the Above" (an actual choice on Nev. ballots) rather than Titus.
”

"Republican Jim Gibbons survived last-minute scandal and a tough year for Republicans to keep the Nevada governorship in Republican hands for four more years after a close battle" with state Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus (D) (Las Vegas Review-Journal, 11/8/06). ..... Titus and Gibbons won their primary races (Reno Gazette-Journal, 8/16/06). ..... State Sen. Bob Beers (R) announced the launch of a signature drive to get his Tax and Spending Control (TASC) initiative on the ballot (release, 3/9/06). ..... Beers "renewed his challenge" for Gibbons to debate him in 17 counties (Nevada Appeal, 2/22/06). ..... Announcing her bid, Lt. Gov. Lorraine Hunt (R) said she's the only Republican running who's won statewide and has the necessary business experience (AP, 1/13/06). ..... Titus used the Supreme Court confirmation hearings "as a launching point" for a Web ad to remind Democrats that Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson is pro-life ("Ralston Flash," 1/9/06). ..... Gibson launched his campaign, and "aimed his harshest rhetoric" at Gibbons (Reno Gazette-Journal, 10/21/05). ..... Gibbons (R) joined what's expected to be a crowded 2006 field for governor, declaring his candidacy alongside former vice presidential candidate Jack Kemp (AP, 9/1/05).
