In a sign of where things are heading in Nevada’a GOP primary for governor, the Nevada Independent has called the race for Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo. Per ABC’s numbers, Lombardo holds about a two-to-one lead over attorney and former boxer Joey Gilbert, 44 percent to 22 percent. Gilbert has carried a number of the sparsely-populated rural counties, but Lombardo’s big lead in Clark (home to Las Vegas) has given him a big lead.

You may not have been watching the Nevada treasurer’s race very closely, but the current leader of the Republican primary there is a notable name: Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore. Fiore is a huge gun-rights supporter who once posed for a pin-up calendar with herself holding several guns, including assault rifles, and she has also expressed sympathy for anti-government militias.
