| Daily Glean: Vilsack unveils exit strategy »
- There's a lot more to be said, s'pose, about the forum up in Carson City, and we say some of it over at NVToday. Long story short: Clinton, Edwards and Obama have more than enough time to tear each other limb from limb in a veritable orgy of carnage, leaving each other's hollowed out carcasses rotting along the side of a muddied and bloodied campaign trail. So that'll be fun.
- One other thought: The local political industrial complex is always running off at the mouth about how Nevada's Democrats are "different" than Democrats in the rest of the country, more conservative, hence the importance of bringing the Wonderful West into play, blahblahblah. As the prez wannabes parade through the state and campaign not on the issues that the West As Savior Movement says they should be talking about, but actual issues that people ask them about, that long-held conventional wisdom might get more than a few holes poked in it, and might even be exposed as flat-out bullshit.
- Now MoveOn.org has a petition opposing FOX's involvement in Nevada's prez wannabe debate. And JWH has Democratic spokestress Kirsten Searer on KJFK radio 'splaining what the party thinks it's doing, which we confess we have not listened to but it's probably in line with the party's statement that Taylor helpfully cut and pasted on her site so we don't have to. And Ralston even took time from his buy schedule of being "now one of the nation's leaders in determining what's going to happen with the presidency," as reportedly ordained by the Great and Powerful Harry on Mug to Mug, to make fun of the FOX fracas in a Flash Thursday. But back to MoveOn. Read their action alert. Do you suppose they don't know that their otherwise beloved Harry is running the state party, or are they just pretending they don't know?
So, here we go AGAIN!
Nobody knows who called who first?
Who was involved in the decision making process?
How much money did Fox offer to the NSDP for the "EXCLUSIVE" coverage?
Come on Hugh - let's get the basic questions asked and answered!

Money? A case of gin would have done the trick.
