Sources tell me that Jamie Herrera's people have managed to make the deal Zarelli was after, and he is now actually endorsing the 18th District's own version of the empty suit.
Why anyone would want the anchor of such an endorsement around their campaign neck is certainly a mystery, but then, Herrera has never shown herself to be the brightest bulb on the tree.
The question is this: does such an endorsement help Herrera... or hurt her?
I believe it will hurt her, but then, she has no chance anyway, so a better question will be "How Much?"
Zarelli's days of, well, accepting thousands of dollars he shouldn't have taken will never leave him. It's unlikely that he could win anywhere else except the 18th, Where the GOP could run a barn-headed ape and it would win if it had an "R" after it's name.
So, District and Party wide, what does that type of integrity-challenged endorsement do for Herrera?
Well, it's been shown that she's no slouch at wasting taxpayer dollars. Her ability to exaggerate is beyond that of most politicians, and her record of being a mile wide and an inch deep isn't changed by any of this.
Combine these together and you come up with a net-minus.
So, congrats. Whatever the pay off was, I sincerely hope it was worth it.

It looks like the party machine has decided it is going to be cute little Jaime already. Chris Vance, chair as we lost so many elections and now listing himself as a "politcal consultant" wrote an article for Crosscut.com today, Republican hopes are rising for 2010.
In it, he mentions that Herrera has us "excited" and that she is a "rising star."
We are also told "She has hired much of the same political team that worked on both Rossi campaigns for governor."
Although Rossi won the 3rd both runs for governor, uh, he did drop nearly 4% of the votes in 2008 than he received in 2004.
What exactly is "the deal Zarelli was after?" For the life of me I can't figure out what a 1-term state representative who is not running for re-election can offer a 4-term senator. The only thing Jaime has that she could give to Joe is something not legal outside of Nevada. But I know Jaime and I know that's not what she's offering, so could you please let us know what the deal was, lest people who do not know Jaime assume it is something it is not?
Sorry. While I may post anonymous notes, I won't respond to them.
Thanks for stopping by though.
This is a change in policy.
Some individuals wrongly believe they are the reason for this policy. A recent effort made that assertion.
Actually, I just got sick of the hit and run aspect of it all. The individual in question, one anonymous 98661, does come complete with an IP (Tracking software... it's amazing!), which I have identified. But while I know a great deal about that individual (the internet can be such a wonderful thing) in this instance, their failure to identify themselves accurately will keep any further comment from them of any kind from appearing here.
I want everyone to be able to post comments here, as long as they are civil, and as long as those commenting realize that there is only one standard I have to meet for the operation of this blog: mine.
Those who disagree may feel free to not read it. No one forces anyone to come here, least of all me. And how I run this place isn't subject to anyone's guidance or approval.
And for the more backwards attempting to circumvent this process, if I can't identify who you are, then you're still anon, and you still won't get posted... no matter how many fake ID's you make up.
So, equal congratulations to the more moronic who tell me "you thwarted me by 45 seconds." If I don't know you or can't find out who you are?
You're not posting here.
And the "why" of it is irrelevant. My blog... my rules. Don't like it?
Tough. Don't read it.
