[edit] Campaign
Popular Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman had said in January that he would probably run[3], but in late April, he decisively ruled that out.[4]. Goodman did not file by the May 12, 2006 deadline. Carter's advantages included his formidable speaking abilities and kinship with a former U.S. President. On the other hand, Ensign was also considered to be an effective speaker and as of the first quarter of 2006, held an approximately 5-1 advantage over Carter in cash-on-hand.
