So gubernatorial candidate Jim Gibbons, darling of the right, is against privatization and for collective bargaining for state employees? When it comes to prisons or public safety, he'll nix any privatization as governor. And if his position as a legislator is any guide, he'll support collective bargaining as governor. So says a Web site (http://www.nevadacorrections.org) that declares the little-known Nevada Corrections Association's endorsement of Gibbons. Was it pandering or sincerity? Either way, this is a classy group, too. Check out this message on its web site: "You know It's a Bad Day When You Find a Hole in Your Glove After Completing a Body Cavity Search." And Gibbons shook their hands!
