Rapid Response
Bad day to be a Republican in Nevada
In Nevada, Republicans control the state senate by a single vote. They also, apparently, don't have much to be excited about as a party. Citing lack of interest, GOP leaders in the state were forced to cancel their state convention and hold a conference call instead:
The state party broke up its original convention in April when supporters of Ron Paul hijacked the proceedings and tried to elect delegates for their candidate to the national GOP convention in September. Party officials tried to reconvene on July 26, but they needed a quorum of 675 and received only 300 RSVPs, according to local reports.
Here's to hoping that Republican supporters decide to stay home on Election Day, too.
