FLASHPOINT for May 15, 2007

Tuesday, May 15, 2007 | 7:33 a.m.

Nevada Democrats are excited. They get excited a lot. And then they get depressed - usually after major elections in the state. The current cause of the Democratic ebullience is the appearance of national party Chairman Howard Dean at a Jefferson-Jackson fundraising dinner next month in Reno. Dean will be joined by the somewhat more low-key Nevada party boss, Jill Derby. The party is touting Dean's appearance because of his so-called 50-state strategy and, as a release said, his outreach to "rural areas." This may work well in other states, but reaching out to rural areas in Nevada is a complete waste of time for the Democratic presidential hopefuls. They will get crushed. I have been screaming about this for years.
