I’m sure we should read nothing into the fact that 1st Congressional District candidate Ruben Kihuen was invited by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to watch President Barack Obama‘s State of the Union speech tonight. Because, after all, Reid is totally and completely neutral in the 1st District Democratic primary race between Reid and former Congresswoman Dina Titus, right?
I mean, Reid would never send a not-so-subtle message that supports Kihuen for the seat over Titus by arranging for a nice photo opportunity that Kihuen could later use in a mailer or ad, right? That would be akin to turning down meetings would other would-be congressional aspirants while just happening to be photographed with Kihuen, as he was in this Las Vegas Sun photo (below).
But you know what might be funny? If U.S. Sen. Dean Heller hasn’t already picked a guest for the speech, maybe he could invite Titus. That way, no matter what Obama says in his speech, with both Kihuen and Titus in the House (chamber), Heller and everybody else is sure not to be bored!




That photo reminds me of:
“Welcome to my parlor”
Thankfully I don’t live inside NV01 though if I did and was stuck with a choice of Dina or Ruben I would vote none and be ok with the inevitability of Ruben.
I think that’s very nice! Maybe Titus can invite Kihuen next year too!
OMGoodness! Ruben Kihuen will be inviting Dina next year for sure!
