I left my heart in Carson City: it's time to say goodbye
Submitted by Danielle Cook on Fri, 08/24/2018 - 2:04pmHello. Danielle Cook here. I'm the person behind 'the list.' I’ve labored over how to write this - with multiple stops, starts, and pauses in the pursuit of getting these words out. In the end, I guess I should just be brutally straightforward: It’s time to announce my retirement.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with CarsonNow.org for four years, contributing my daily and weekend ‘things to do’ event listings, but at the end of this month I will be discontinuing the column.

Assembly District 40: The epic campaign attack backfire?
Submitted by Kirk Caraway on Wed, 11/03/2010 - 11:21am"You see, in our two-party system, the Democrats are the party of no ideas and the Republicans are the party of bad ideas. It usually goes something like this. A Republican will stand up in Congress and say, "I've got a really bad idea." And a Democrat will immediately jump to his feet and declare, "And I can make it sh---ier." — comedian Lewis Black
I'm not sure I've seen a better close-up example of a campaign attack backfiring than I did last night in the Assembly District 40 race.
Robin Williamson seemed to be doing everything right to fill the seat held by fellow Democrat Bonnie Parnell. She was working very hard, walking the neighborhoods, working with both Democrats and Republicans to gather the coalition she needed to win in this GOP-leaning district.
And then the Nevada Democratic Party stepped in and screwed it up.
