I live in Reno, which is only about 30 minutes from Carson City. The Osama campaign is very active and mobilized in this area. Osama has been here several times and has a large devoted group of morons supporting him. You wouldn't believe the amount of Osama posters you see around town.
I've been tempted to purchase some spray paint cans and put a big 'N' at the front of those OBAMA posters.
During the last presidential election Nevada was considered a toss up swing state but thankfully Bush carried it, instead of Kerry. (Yes, I know Bush sucks, but I'm convinced Kerry would have been even worse.)
Remember, this is a state that continually elects that walking piece of human feces Harry Reid and sends him to the senate. This is a state based primarily on legalized gambling, 24/7/365 drinking and carousing, and the 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' mindset. But there's also a very large silent majority of conservative, no nonsense, old school, pioneer, cowboy types that absolutely despise the leftists.
I hope McCain and or Palin make more appearances in this region. He can carry this state if he wants to put the effort into doing so.
