Barbara Buckley (D) and the front runner for governor of Nevada decided to not to run for the post today. Even though she would have beaten her main Democratic rival, Rory Reid (son of Harry)43-22%, she decided not to run.

Why? She claims it is for family reasons and the length of the campaign. Maybe that had a little something to do with it, but then she should have announced much earlier.
Could it be that, while our current governor, Jim Gibbons, is beatable, she loses to the other GOP canidates, announced or unannouced in the field? I think that is the more likely scenario.
It does set up an intresting scenario next November. Both Harry and Rory, two of the most despised politicians in the state, along with Gibbons, will be on the ballot running in two statewide elections. It could be a very good year for Nevada conservatives.
