Las Vegas Republican Holloway to launch PAC opposing Lowden

A Las Vegas Republican will launch a political action committee to oppose Republican candidate for senate Sue Lowden.

Robert Holloway, 64, says he's launching the Fair Nevada Elections PAC because he blames Lowden for a breakdown at the 2008 state Republican convention. Lowden was chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party at the time, although she wasn't chairperson of the convention.

"It would not have stopped without her agreement," Holloway said. "They ended the convention in the middle of an election."

When asked whether he was concerned Republican infighting in the primary would doom the eventual nominees chance to oust Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., in the general election, Holloway said, "I think it is more important that an example be made and people will learn, like Sue Lowden, that they can't get to the senate doing these sorts of things."

Lowden and Danny Tarkanian are the leading candidates in the Republican primary. They're followed by Sharron Angle and several other candidates.
