Nevada Democrats hungry to win back the state's top seats from the GOP this year rallied their party faithful at county conventions Saturday, sounding off on recent ethical breakdowns that have marred both state and national Republicans.

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention," U.S. Senate candidate Jack Carter told a crowd of 150 delegates at the Washoe County convention.

The theme of returning ethics to politics echoed in speeches from candidates up and down the ticket as Democrats promised to close the door on special interests and open it to Nevadans.

"We've got to have a government we can be proud of, not ashamed of," said state Sen. Dina Titus, D-Las Vegas, who is running for governor. "We've got to break that chain of corruption."

-that we can clean up (pun acknowledged) in Nov if candidates are relentless in a united message, up and down every ticket, of clean, open govt.

This looks like *gasp* unity-
