In a letter to The Las Vegas Sun, the family of the Republican Attorney General candidate Adam Laxalt endorsed his Democratic opponent....

The letter might be the most devastating political endorsement of a candidate ever because of the closing line, which implies that Adam Lexalt (sic; passim) is not the most qualified candidate for attorney general.

Lexalt is the fairly recently discovered illegitimate son of former Republican Sen. Pete Domenici, who is trying to leverage his family ties into a political career.

It impossible to see how any candidate can win if their own family is planning on voting for his/her opponent. Lexalt is the grandson of former Republican Sen. Paul Lexalt. The younger Lexalt said that evaluating himself as an outstanding private attorney, but The Las Vegas Sun reported on his performance review, “But his supervisors said his work was “sloppy,” called him a “train wreck” and suggested a salary freeze and “possible termination,” according to notes from Laxalt’s performance review meeting for 2011-12 with the firm Lewis Roca.”

They obviously dealt with it as long as he kept a low profile. But for some reason the dirty laundry came out last year. I'm sure those cousins feel that they are carrying a heavy burden.
