You, my friends, are paying taxes for these stupid trips: Elko is a township of about 36,000. Cheney showed up there before the 04 election. These jerks think they will have 2,900 in this bastion of conservativeness when barely 200 turned out in Reno this past month for Bush. The GOP claims that Elko won Nevada for Bush in 2004, it was the papertrail-LESS Sequoias in Las Vegas that did.
They are stealing the election in Nevada ...Dean Heller bought the Sequoias in 03/04.
ELKO, Nev. (AP) - Local Republican leaders said they hope to attract a crowd of nearly 3,000 people for President Bush's visit to Elko on Thursday but they still aren't sure exactly when or where the rally will be held.
"We're hoping to turn out about 2,900 people," said Nancy Ernaut, vice chairman of the Elko County Republican Central Committee.
Ernaut said the location cannot be announced yet but she confirmed it will not be at the Elko convention center because early voting is under way there. She said people who receive tickets should bring a photo ID and a bottle of water, "because there will be a long line."
White House spokesman Peter Watkins said Monday details of the visit are still being planned.
Bush is scheduled to speak in Billings, Mont., Thursday morning and expected to arrive sometime Thursday afternoon in Elko, a rural town of about 18,000 about 300 miles east of Reno on U.S. Interstate 80.
