From February through August, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama raised about the same amount in Nevada, just shy of $1 million for each campaign. Figuring in money transferred from the nominees’ affiliated fundraising committees, McCain surpassed Obama by more than $200,000. Both campaigns have watched the wave of donations rise toward a crest ahead of next month’s election, though McCain has done markedly better in Nevada since April.

    REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA

    MCCAIN CAN'T BE TRUSTED BY CONSERVATIVES.

    MCCAIN SECRETLY WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH SOCIAL SECURITY.

    MCCAIN WILL PUSH YUCCA MOUNTAIN ON NEVADA.

    MCCAIN WAS NO TOP GUN AVIATOR, IN FACT 3 CRASHES EARLY IN HIS CAREER LED NAVY OFFICIALS TO QUESTION OR FAULT HIS JUDGMENT.

    MCCAIN WILL CONTINUE THE DISASTROUS POLICIES OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

    VOTE FOR A NEW DIRECTION. VOTE FOR OBAMA.
