As Sunday night comes to a close, I’m in my house in Las Vegas reviewing the upcoming week and next weekend and realize that the Nevada Caucus is coming up on Saturday.
I’m also surprised candidates have so little interest in my vote. As a 3 of 4 Republican male (I didn’t vote in the city general election that had only a municipal court judge on the ballot in Summerlin), I would expect to be contacted as much as Shirley Horton’s campaign spoke to people in the 2004 election, but I have received only two contacts – a polling company called yesterday to get my choice in the Democrat’s caucus and Ron Paul’s people came by today.
Monday, I’ll be calling Adam Probolsky to find out where the Mitt Romney campaign is hiding in Las Vegas. With this little action or contact in the race, a little California-style activism could go a long way.

I believe John McCain will win the Nevada caucus. He has momentum now and the more it looks like Hillary for the dems the more republicans will look for a candidate who can beat her. I beleive this election cycle goes way beyond trying to win the White House. Whoever the nominee turns out to be we will need that California style activism to lift other candidates who need help all over the country.The eventual candidate can do a lot of good for other candidates who need as much help as they can get. The last thing I want to see is a Clinton presidency with a veto proof majority. Stopping a veto proof majority must be job one and our candidates need to put their ear to the ground and realize with a damaged brand they must run imaginative, maverick style campaigns.
