Will Nevada Be the New Hampshire of the West?

ìNevada could become the New Hampshire of the West under a proposal being considered by national Democrats seeking to broaden the pool of voters choosing the presidential nominee,î according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. Nevada is ìone of two Western states likely to be targeted for a January presidential caucus in 2008.î

Meanwhile, the AP reports that ìNevada and Colorado are the most likely candidates in the West largely because neither has joined a separate movement to hold a Feb. 5 Western States Primary.î Nevada in particular is ìbeing considered for the January vote because of its growing Hispanic population, large number of union households and booming population.î
