"Fear and voting in Las Vegas" - CBC RealVideo clip

Fast forward to 22:25 for the start of this segment about swing states, swing voters, and undecideds in general, from the perspective of our friends up North.

This url will point to the correct video for about the next 24 hours. After that it'll be out of date.

I thought it was pretty a interesting analysis, and maybe you will too.

Feel free to keep this kicked a bit so that it doesn't archive before tomorrow night.

The segment before it (about how different communities view and treat the homeless) is kind of interesting too, but not really the topic of this thread, just a tangent.

5. A big kick from Canada

I hadn't seen this on The National, but it was phenomenal.

6. Nevada tanking?

The Las Vegas economy tanked after 911 with thousands of layoffs. Now our unemployment rate sits at 4% and new houses and casionos are going up all over town. I don't know what they are talking about. If things were so bad we would not be a swing state. The only reason we are a swing state is so many people have moved here from california. U-Hauls are available leaving Las Vegas ;-)

What can kill our economy in Nevada is one thing--another terrorist attack. No tourism, no Nevada.

9. Imagine

Homeless people, a voting block no one was counting on.

What are the real, true unemployment numbers in America, counting those who have dropped off the unemployment rolls?
