	On the contrary, it appears that Mr. Manendo has had no choice but to respond to Ms. McClain's horrid innuendos about him. She certainly started it. I have seen Mark's activity in the community, his support of seniors and homeowners. He helped our community get a needed traffic sign on Flamingo Road and even came out to help a group of us paint speed bumps and no parking areas. He is a man of his word, and he is sincere in his efforts to help his constituents. His voting record in Carson City is essentially no different than hers - they both vote with other Democrats. Ms. McClain has not gotten her hands dirty with me in my neighborhood but was the first to start a dirty campaign to make herself visible. Just look at the groups who have endorsed Mark Manendo. I am pleased to be one. Bill Sampson –Jun 5, 2010 16:44:27 PM Respond to this comment

	I am originally a Brit from London (the greatest city in the world but for the weather !) who became an American citizen last June, so this is the first election I am eligible to vote in! I am excited at this prospect as I feel voting is both an honor and a civic duty, and would actually like to see it made compulsory - as it is in Australia... Although I found Mr Manendo to be an articulate proponent of his views, I'm afraid I could never vote for him. In the past couple of weeks I received two large glossy (and I am guessing not inexpensive) double-sided color postcards totally trashing his opponent. Neither of them contained a single sentence in support of what he could POSITIVELY do for us - reserving every square inch for invective against Ms McClain. Furthermore - had I not employed a magnifying glass - I wouldn't have been able to see that it was sent by supporters of his campaign, so tiny was the font employed at the foot of the card. I know that many believe a negative campaign is effective - sadly for them I am neither unintelligent nor stupid. I may not vote for Ms McClain - but certainly will NOT vote for any candidate who is so overtly negative. Chris –May 14, 2010 00:00:00 AM Respond to this comment
