i think ppl here in nv are paying attention to the election bc nv was hit so hard by the great recession. we had a lot of foreclosures, job loss, difficult problems had to cope with. we're still coming out of it, but nv still needs a president who's going to make sure the economy is working for everybody, that we're going to get on the right track toward rising incomes, so i think there's a lot of interest here in the state." hear much more from my interview with the democratic frontrunner tonight on fox5 news at ten. and you can see the complete, unedited interview on the news page of our website, fox5 vegas dot com. the republican party responded to today's visits. assemblyman derek armstrong says nevada is turning more republican... and that the local party y more diverse than ever.
