Political Post

It's been a busy few days for all things Nevada and political.

First, a Nevada man was arrested with others in a plot to murder Democratic Party Presidential nominee Barack Obama. (Las Vegas Now; Independent)

Then, the Nevada Republican Party got called "inept" by the national Republican Party. Refusing to be out-embarrassed by the ineptitude of the Clark County Democratic Party, which failed to book a convention center large enough to hold all the caucusing delegates earlier this year, the state Republican Party recently attempted (and failed) to appoint, rather than elect delegates to the national Republican convention.

Finally, lobbyists for the online poker industry gathered in Colorado in an attempt to curry favor with the Democrats to reverse the statutory ban on online poker. (Las Vegas Sun)
