Nevada in 2012: The chopped liver caucus

POLITICO.com:
"Also unlike last time, in 2012 the Nevada caucuses will be binding and proportional, which the state’s Republicans hope will make them a bigger deal.

Yet, there’s already evidence that the state again is being treated like chopped liver. More potential GOP candidates have traveled to Israel this year — three — than to Nevada.

The prospective presidential candidates have been ramping up their schedules in recent weeks, but the only one to visit Nevada since the new year is Sarah Palin, who gave the keynote speech at the Safari International convention of big-game hunters in Reno last week."
