FLASHPOINT for Jul 31, 2007

Tuesday, July 31, 2007 | 7:17 a.m.

I spent my summer vacation going to some pretty exotic places. But our governor is more prosaic, beginning his "summer tour" this week in places in rural Nevada, places with a bucolic and down-home feel, places where they have something that Southern Nevada doesn't have for the governor: a whole lotta love. He can stroke the base, blow kisses to the teeming crowds (of 40 or 50) and soak up the adoration. It ain't Italy, but it's what he needs. I actually understand why Gibbons might be doing his closer-to-home summer vacation. The last time he took one of those far-away trips, he ended up on NBC News, the front page of The Wall Street Journal and the FBI's Most Wanted Politician's List. Yes, indeed. Round Mountain is safer.
