FLASHPOINT for Nov 13, 2007

Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:11 a.m.

This will not be a good week to be a Republican in Nevada. The GOP faithful should prepare to be anywhere from annoyed to disgusted as a sea of national media floods the valley to cover the Democratic presidential debate Thursday. It will be all Democrats all the time and the GOP will have a difficult time getting any message through. Sure, Republican National Committee boss Mike Duncan will be here to remind the media that another party exists. And all the usual bloggers and letter writers will find something offensive or worthy of ridicule in the saturation coverage and various story lines that develop. But this is about the national Democrats' making Nevada more important than it ever has been - and that the GOP cannot ignore.
