Blah, Blah, Blah, http://www.city-data.com/city/Searchlight-Nevada.html ______________________ Bob Dole Russell, Kansas Males: 2,008 (47.6%) Females: 2,209 (52.4%) Estimated median household income in 2008: $31,181 Estimated median house or condo value in 2008: $70,000 Mean prices in 2008: All housing units: $75,893; Detached houses: $75,443; Mobile homes: $32,308 Races in Russell: * White Non-Hispanic (96.4%) * American Indian (1.2%) * Hispanic (1.0%) * Two or more races (0.9%) * Black (0.7%) Dec. 2009 cost of living index in Russell: 73.3 (low, U.S. average is 100) Ancestries: German (44.3%), English (9.5%), Irish (8.9%), United States (6.3%), Russian (3.5%), French (2.6%).

Dec. 2009 cost of living index in Russell: 73.3 (low, U.S. average is 100) Blah, Blah, Blah http://www.kansastowns.us/russell.html ********* I've never been to Searchlight, Nevada, but I grew up among old time Desert Rats in essentially the same desert. I can't imagine the home crowd going for Reid. I have been to Russell, Kansas: My impression was that it rolls the sidewalks up after 4:30 pm or so... as I recall, I couldn't get something to eat in the late afternoon next to the interstate - and the sun was still up in the winter when I pulled in. They had some real pride in Dole. Whether or not he ever visited his hometown after he made it, they had - as I remember (Several trips on 70 through Kansas in 1996) - a sign on the interstate which loudly proclaimed Russel, Kansas as Bob Dole's home town. Does Searchlight have a similar sign for Harry Reid?

There is a huge list of people that will be there including
Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Joe the Plumber , and a ton of conservative talk radio people, American Patrol is sending their airplane , Danny Tarkanian who is running for Reids spot will be there. The one RV/campground has been sold out for days now I'll have whatever first hand reports I can , I won't be able to go but I will be talking to Danny Tarkainian (I have his cell number , lol) He has started some anti illegal immigration advertising here in Vegas on Tv now.

However, are the citizens of Searchlight, Nevada as proud of native son Harry Reid as Russell, Kansas is of Native son Bob Dole?

Not many people live in Searchlight but from what I read this morning
support for dingy harry is about fifty fifty Todays story in the RJ on the tea party today http://www.lvrj.com/news/thousands-g...-89319862.html "Up to 10,000 people are expected at the event, where former GOP vice presidential candidate Palin is the big draw. But organizers weren't sure exactly how many supporters would join the Tea Party"
