Sandoval's convention speech to (absolutely positively not) focus on economy

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval will speak at the Republican National Convention in Tampa at ... 10:43 a.m. Tuesday? Introducing Ted Nugent perhaps? We don't know. 6 p.m. Monday night, when the nation will be electrified by his oratorical excellence. Nor do We don't know what he thinks he will say.

However (as I muttered on TV Wednesday) we absolutely positively know what Sandoval won't say: If America wants to see how the anti-tax, small-government approach to economic development championed by Romney and Ryan works in the real world, America need look no further than Nevada, which sports one of the cheapest state governments in the country by several measurements, and is one of only three states that taxes neither personal nor business income.

So elect Romney, and all of America can be just as prosperous and successful as Nevada.

Nope, Sandoval won't say that. He may be welcome at the convention. Truth isn't.

According to this article, Nevada has nothing on Florida. In fact, you'll think you're reading about Nevada instead of Florida! It's a lot of fun, check it out ..

Well RussBBinVegas,

The good folk of Florida made a considered decision and decided they would have rather have a crook (Scott) as governor than a Democrat. Soon we will see on TV the McCain oppo research on Romney re: his company over billing Medicare and a similar big-fat-fine.

Hugh;
Thanks for once again pointing out Nevada's role as a GOP petri dish. Funny (odd/inexcusable/understandable), none from the GOP point to Nevada as a "shining example on the hill" of a euphoric low tax, low regulatory, small government enterprise and its expected garden of eden.

One would think our singular and outstanding accomplishment as the lowest taxed citizens in the union with the smallest government employees to resident ratio (who doesn't enjoy huge oil revenue), would be a beacon to those who should otherwise embrace our co-existing record as the state with the highest unemployment rate and poorest student achievement scores. Sandoval should use his time in front of the GOP faithful insiders to point out the correlation.
