| Description | After Dina Titus lost the 2006 governor’s race to Jim Gibbons, who’d been accused of assaulting a women and other ethical misdeeds, she seemed to have lost some faith in politics.
She had been outspent 2-to-1 and pummeled with negative ads, and despite a Democratic wave across the country, she drew just 44 percent of the vote. She lashed out at rural voters, and her political future seemed uncertain, at best. Fellow Democrats saw her as a divisive figure.
Yet when a Democratic candidate for the Third Congressional District suddenly dropped out of the race this year, Democrats wooed her to take on Rep. Jon Porter.
This time, she ran a careful and disciplined campaign, listened to seasoned advisers and rode the Democratic wave, helped along by ample Democratic money from outside the state. |
