StumbleFLASHPOINT:
So you may have heard …
Sunday, Aug. 17, 2008 | 2:01 a.m.
So you may have heard that Barack Obama is in Reno today campaigning for Nevada’s five electoral votes during a year in which the state has never been more targeted by the White House hopefuls. But why Reno? Shouldn’t he be down in Vegas? Oh, he will be. But Obama seems to realize what few Democrats outside of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and perhaps Controller Kim Wallin know — the North may be the key to Obama winning the state. It’s not just that Reno recently turned Democratic in registration, a product of the surge since the Jan. 19 caucus. It’s that moderate Republicans up there saved Reid’s career in 1998, helped Wallin in 2006 and could put Obama over the top this cycle.
