Dina Titus is a person who just doesn't have situational awareness- surrounding herself with unrealistic thoughts. Dina Titus, who is probably the second most unethical Nevadan congress critter, next to Crybaby Reid. Titus was so unethical that event he extreme liberal, Jon Ralston, had to call out Titus for her unethical political advertisements against Rep. Dr. Joe Heck.
Then, when she left politics, she went back to UNLV, even though she only taught 1 class and even UNLV said that she was not qualified to teach anymore, until she got caught up in her readings and writings.
Then she not only worked for a year and then retired, taking with her over $200,000 in a buy out and her husband did the same.
So, now, this Fall, Dina Titus still thinks she is the Nevada's goddess of politics by announcing her run for the newly created 4th Congressional District. But to do that, she has to have a primary against Democrat Reuben Kihuen. Well, even Harry Reid cannot stand the fact that Titus is running again.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Publicly, Nevada’s most powerful Democrat, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, is remaining neutral in the primary between state Sen. Ruben Kihuen and former Rep. Dina Titus for the 1st Congressional District.
Reid’s spokesman Zac Petkanas confirmed that last week.
“He’s neutral,” Petkanas said. “At this point, he’s not going to endorse (someone) in the Democratic primary.”
Behind the scenes, however, it’s a different story: Kihuen is clearly Reid’s favored candidate.
Reid’s political allies have quietly reached out to contributors to convey the Senate majority leader’s preference, and his people have expressed, again quietly, gratitude to those who have publicly backed Kihuen.
Perhaps the most public sign is that those who helmed Reid’s 2010 campaign are now working Kihuen’s race, including one of his closest former advisers, Jon Summers; his notable pollster, Mark Mellman, and his former political director, Megan Jones.
The one exception is Brandon Hall, Reid’s 2010 campaign manager, whose new firm is handling Titus’ media strategy. (Ironically, Hall worked with Reid’s folks to recruit Titus into a last-minute race against Jon Porter in 2008. Titus won.)
The question now is: How strongly will Reid work behind the scenes? Will he attempt to finesse Titus out of the race? Will he and his people go full-bore against her?
Or will he continue to work behind the scenes and maintain the appearance of neutrality?
Those who know Reid well say any of those scenarios is possible.
Indeed, Reid has taken each of those approaches to influence races in the past. If he can’t prevent them from occurring in the first place, Reid has been known to be calculating when it comes to his party’s primaries. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/nov/13/reid-quietly-helping-kihuens-bid/
Clearly, this article was a warning shot across Titus's bow about her running for Congress. Due to the Las Vegas Sun's extremely close relationship to Reid, I am sure Reid and his people scripted this article as a warning to Titus to bow out of the race or else....
Just remember when he made senate candidate drop out against Shelly Berkley earlier this year. He did so by literally defaming the candidate into withdrawing.
But Titus has very little situational awareness and she believes she has a boatload of support. But if she continues to run in this election, watch Crybaby Reid go after her personally and publicly.
