Mitt Romney’s stop in Nevada after winning the Iowa Straw Poll is detailed in the report below. Some interesting facts about Nevada are also included. For instance, it is possible a nuke waste center will be located 100 miles north of Las Vegas. It would not be surprise if people in Nevada glowed in the dark based on their history connections to things nuclear.

Someone from Obama’s camp joked that they didn’t think Democrats were allowed in Las Vegas. Dems are outnumbered 4 to 1. Since the state passed a pro-choice law and conservatives are largely pro-life, there must be a lot of Dems somewhere in Nevada. But then you can get married and divorced in Vegas all in the same day, so why wouldn’t they accept abortions too? That 87% of the land is government controlled is another surprising detail.

Based on the report Romney hit all the talking points and carefully avoided some of the local issue positions that would benefit no one by addressing. No sense starting trouble on issues everyone in the room knows are split.

Much has been made of Romney’s wealth in the news lately. With all but Biden, Huckabee and possibly Obama ranked at seven figures and above there are no destitute candidates. Since the public seems to take CEO and pro-athlete incomes in stride, the media push to talk about political incomes looks like nothing more than stirring the pot. Romney’s intelligence, discipline, work ethic and history proves he successful and the money is an indicator of that. While the American dream is trumpeted as the great opportunity, when success comes in figures like Romney’s all that seems to be shoved aside. Rather than admire the accomplishment, it becomes a political insult from the opposition. The usual contradictions apply and the intent is calculated. Successful people get results. That is why Romney is a good choice for President. He will get results. Something Washington has lacked for a long time.

ELKO, Nev. (AP) - Mitt Romney stressed his conservative credentials Monday in his first public campaign stop in Nevada and, while critical of Washington, D.C., politics and handling of the Iraq war, avoided a direct slap at President Bush.
