Rep. Gibbons (R) admits role in software firm contracts, free vacations

It is astonishing how little Nevadans have gotten from their investment in Jim Gibbons. After three terms in the Nevada Assembly and five in the U.S. House, he has not a single major piece of legislation to his credit--not one.

Poorly informed and unable to work well with his colleagues, he made almost no mark in his legislative career. He didn't even bother to vote in June on one of the most important measures of this generation--net neutrality, the issue of whether conglomerates control the Internet.

Perhaps it is well that Gibbons has been so ineffective, given what he wanted to do. It often seems that Jim Gibbons gets up in the morning, looks in the mirror, and asks himself, "What can I do to Nevadans today?"

By contrast, Dina Titus has a record of accomplishment that seems unbounded. In one field after another--crime, health, education--Titus has protected Nevadans, improved the quality of life in the state, removed obstacles to better lives. Governors of both parties have signed dozens of major Titus measures and her colleagues in both parties have praised her accomplishments and leadership.

Yes, Titus early in her career attacked Washoe County. But over the course of her legislative career, she has also done more for the county than Gibbons ever did.

...She should be governor.
