still too close to call in the District 2 Republican primary in Nevada, as Secretary of State Dean Heller and certified crackpot Sharron Angle battle for the nomination.
Had Dawn Gibbons not thrown her hat into the ring, Heller would no doubt have won handily.
I am not so sure that even if he prevailed, and even with the establishment Republican backing, that he could beat Democrat Jill Derby in the fall. That's even considering the fact District 2 has always gone Republican in House races.
AP says Heller prevailed, but he won by just a few hundred votes.
Note this:
The race for the open House seat was tight - a difference of just 428 votes, out of nearly 50,000 cast - and could create a quite a conundrum if the results are challenged.
The secretary of state's office would be responsible for overseeing a recount, but the winner of the race was the secretary of state himself, Dean Heller. He defeated conservative Sharron Angle, 24,781 votes to 24,353. Former Assemblywoman Dawn Gibbons, Rep. Gibbons' wife, was third with 17,328 votes.
