FLASHPOINT for Nov 17, 2007

Saturday, Nov. 17, 2007 | 7:18 a.m.

As Ruben Kihuen's endorsement puts Hillary Clinton over the top in Nevada today - raise your hand if you know who Kihuen is and if his endorsement affects your vote - it's worth reflecting on how the state did in its big week in the national spotlight. Conclusion: We didn't suck. The national folks kept the Vegas cliches to a minimum, PBS' "NewsHour" did a number of interesting pieces and the scene Thursday night in Cox Pavilion could have been Anywhere USA. Sure, we had the diamonds-or-pearls idiocy at the end, but that questioner insists CNN handlers prompted her to be facetious as a debate-ender. As the kids say: Whatever. They came, they debated, we conquered. And, like Arnold, they will be back.
