Titus to Drop Out on Monday
No, silly. Not Democrat Congresswoman Dina Titus. GOP U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Robin Titus, the first casualty of the “Money Primary.”
Sources close to the campaign say Titus – who has earned a great deal of respect as a thoughtful, serious conservative candidate over the last few months – will announce her withdrawal from the U.S. Senate campaign and throw her support behind fellow conservative Republican candidate Sue Lowden.
With any luck, Dr. Titus will now consider challenging moderate state Assemblyman Tom Grady, who earned one of the worst conservative ratings of all GOP legislators in the 2009 session.
Lord knows Republicans could use more substantive conservative members such as Dr. Titus in the lower house during the upcoming 2011 session when the billion dollars worth of tax hikes passed this year will come back up for renewal.
Dr. Titus is a great Nevadan and earned the respect of all her opponents. Her medical experience would be greatly needed in the State Assembly, as the nation moves away from the insanity of Obama-Hillary Care and follows the constitutional format of the 10th Amendment and allows the states to determine their own medical programs.
With great respect,
Mike Wiley
