Why McCain Won't Win Nevada: Yucca Mountain
Maybe Las Vegas wasn't the best place for John McCain to propose building 45 more nuclear power plants -- after all, he wants to bury the high-level radioactive waste they produce right here in Nevada. The issue dogged him on each of the major local news broadcasts.
By the way, isn't it interesting how local political coverage tends to focus on real issues, whereas national political coverage tends to focus on the meaningless stuff? I wonder what Dean Broder has to say about that.
I think this helps explain why Barack manages to do so well in so many state and national polls despite having a national media that is in love with Teflon John.
