To keep up to date you can easily subscribe to the site feed and either include in your My Yahoo, newsgator or whatever is reader of choice or you can subscribe to an email feed that will be send to you on a daily basis.

Say Hello to Gov. Krolicki

The biggest flunk ever to be elected governor of the Silver State may actually not be governor at all. According to what's been reported around the buzzing Nevada blogosphere this state may not even have a governor right now.

Before I go on, read the full run down on Vote Gibbons Out.

So, technically, Gibbons would have to be removed. Lt. Gov. Krolicki (R) would then take over as Governor and a new election would possibly have to be called.

Here things would become really interesting. Would Gibbons run again? Would it be too embarrassing? Would his wife run? Would Krolicki want to keep the new job? Who would the Democrats nominate? "Dina-Might"? Speaker Buckley? Anyone else?

Will any of this ever happen? Probably not. The establishment will see to that and I doubt that Harry would like to see his Caucus disturbed in any way.

Tahoe for Obama Group Up and Running!

Barack Obama has announced his run for the White House today. I couldn't be more enthused. During the 2004 Democratic Convention I stayed up late into the night (was watching from Germany) to watch his speech and was I ever blown away.

Today I joined My.BarackObama.com and founded two groups. The first one is called Germans for Obama (I am German, after all) and the second one Tahoe for Obama. I invite you to join Tahoe for Obama. To join, click here.

A couple of you may have been to my blog Nevada Caucus 2008. I try to remain as objective on that blog as humanly possible and will try to report on all candidates in an open-minded manner and will not give preferential treatment on that blog to Barack Obama. I will however criticize and praise the candidates when they deserve it, no matter my personal preference.

Nevada Caucus 2008 Blog

Spin-offs seems to be very fashionable nowadays. The Las Vegas Gleaner has the very professional Nevada Today, the Desert Beacon just created Blue Sage Views. So, it seem like I'm following a little trend here.

Today, I have started a new blog called Nevada Caucus 2008. On that blog I will solely focus on the upcoming Nevada Caucus on January 19, 2008 and all the news surrounding it.

Turn Tahoe Blue will not focus too much on the Caucus and the Presidential election and instead keep its attention on Nevada and California politics of importance to Lake Tahoe and the surrounding areas.

Check out Nevada Caucus 2008. I hope you'll enjoy it.
