Nevada Swings!

by Gabe Posey

Not in the way you might think. Nevada is a definite swing state. In fact, it’s a hotly contested one. Plenty of political money gets spent here and, like most swing states, it’s less about your specific party affiliation than it is about your stance on specific issues.

Obama Barrack Obama and John Edwards will be coming back to the state soon and having their little pushes for support. Oddly I haven’t heard of many Republicans making a stand here. I suppose they forgot that George W. Bush won Nevada, but just barely, in ‘04.
