Wally--
As the "star" of that NPR clip, let me say that while Obama may have opened up and "unprecedented" four rural offices, we have opened an "unprecedented" three offices in Lyon County alone (Fernley, Yerington, Dayton)!

Good point, Howard. But in your words from the radio clip, McCain will need a huge margin in the rural areas to make up for the inevitable loss in Las Vegas. I know you will be organized in the rural areas, but I was surprised to see Obama playing in your backyard.
He's not going to win rural Nevada, but he may make enough of a dent that you can't do what you usually do, which is win back the state after the loss in Vegas.
Thanks for the feedback.

Meanwhile, the DEM (!) SOS raided ACORN's Las Vegas office yesterday.
So I guess that explains the Dem 80,000 voter registration edge in NV this year?
