Nevada Democrats are trying to claim the title of “worst governor” for their very own Jim Gibbons …

The state Democratic Party has launched a Web site asserting that Jim Gibbons is “America’s Worst Governor.” […]

The party has cobbled together multiple press clippings documenting some of Gibbons’ gaffes, including the tax scandal he’s now embroiled in over a piece of property he owns in the Elko area and what Democrats have labeled text gate, referring to how he sent hundreds of text messages to a female friend.

“Everything is documented, because we couldn’t make this up – obviously,” said Travis Brock, the executive director of the Nevada Democratic Party, in a conference call this afternoon with reporters.

The clever site is here.

But can the Nevada Dems move so fast to claim the crown?
