Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is scheduled to give a speech this morning on the campus of the University of Nevada, Reno. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney still plans to make an appearance on behalf of McCain on Thursday. Also in Reno, President Bush will speak Friday at the Silver Legacy hotel-casino to the White House Conference on North American Wildlife Police. <a href="http://www.lvrj.com/news/29934159.html" target="_blank">http://www.lvrj.com/news/29934159.html</a> I left my thoughts on where he'll be... Thanks to LP (2oony, if I remember right) for the use of "Caribou Barbie." ;-)

Speaking of, I wonder if this topic has any connection to this? >> (Ross) Perot told me that McCain had a gambling problem and he had uncovered details that McCain was bailed out in the late 1980s from a big gambling debt by his wife, Cindy. If true, it raises a question as to whether McCain's gambling might ever have put him in a situation where he was pressed to repay his debt through Senatorial favors.<<
