The extremely close race between Democrat Shelley Berkley and Republican Dean Heller for the open Nevada Senate seat will reach a national audience tonight, when the first of their three debates is broadcast on PBS.
Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston has already ridiculed the perceived sameness of both candidates’ messages, and in this post proposes a drinking game in the same vein as other drinking games proposed during this year’s Republican Party candidate debates.

I take every vote very very seriously in my Senate race. There’s not a portion of society that I don’t believe I can’t capture if I get a chance to talk to them. I have a very different view of the world, because of how I was raised.”

Dean Heller (R-Nev.), speaking publicly about his differences with the recently released video of presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying that 47 percent of Americans are ‘dependent’ on the government.
