FLASHPOINT for Nov 19, 2007

Monday, Nov. 19, 2007 | 7:07 a.m.

Everyone was talking about how great it was to have the national media in town last week for the debate. But few noticed how many former Nevada reporters who made it big came back to cover the event for their organizations. Former Review-Journal reporters Major Garrett and Susan Greene were here - Garrett is following the Democrats for FOX News and Greene is covering the race for The Denver Post. And Mark Preston, who once covered politics for the Sun in DC, is now a producer for CNN. There were other Nevada ties, too, as Mara Gassman, who was Tom Gallagher's mouthpiece when he ran against Jon Porter, did PR for CNN and handled the press room credentials beautifully. See, home can mean Nevada again.
