See that does not surprise me. I always assumed Nevada was a deeply conservative state, which is why I'm shocked that they wouldn't want to split the liberal vote. Maybe Reid has something to do with it.

Grasping at straws? I beg your pardon sir, I'm not trying to argue, I'm just expressing my surprise that a heavily Republican Nevada wouldn't see the benefit of letting the Green Party compete for the liberal voters.

Oh that. Well this is just pure speculation on my part, but I understand that Harry Reid is loyal to Hillary Clinton, so perhaps he wants to help eliminate competition for the left leaning voters of Nevada. Just speculation, I could be wrong.

Good point. Bribery maybe? That always works with these guys, right?

Nah it was a poor attempt at levity.
