You need to change that.

My wife chose Cooper over Marshall's last night.  The fool.

And you're still with her!  LOL.  ;)

It is like having a battle of the wits and you are only half a wit. I will type this slow so that you might understand.

I said they were maybe going to also raise some money while in Nevada. I didn't say they were not going to campaign.



Perhaps you should have typed more slowly so that you could keep up with your lies.  Here is what you actually said, copied and pasted directly from your post:

"Maybe they were not spending money there. Maybe they were getting money there."

You were wrong on both counts.  They did go to Nevada last week to spend money (i.e., do campaign events).  They did NOT go to Nevada last week to raise money.

How do you know? Are you Romney?

Romney goes to Nevada and two days later a Nevada casino owner gives him another $10 million.

But according to you, there was no fundraising.

You are either lying, ridiculously naive, or ignorant about how campaigns work.
Power is nothing till you use it.

Reading the bickering on this thread is worse than watching a presidential debate.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Where have you shown us, or where is the evidence that Adelson (or any casino owner) gave $10 Million to the Romney campaign last week (two days after Romney's October 24 visit to Reno)?  Where?    

The $10 Million Adelson has given to the super PAC was not given last week (and was not given to the Romney campaign).  It was reported in the FEC reports as having been given during the first half of October (for those of you who are mathematically-challenged, that means well before Romney's October 24 campaign event in Reno.)  

In fact, the recent Adelson $10 Million contributions to the independent super PAC (not to the Romney campaign) were given October 5 ($5 Million)  and October 11 ($5 Million).  Again, the Romney campaign event was in Reno October 24.

(and "Deep in the longest day of his campaign [October 24 or 25], President Barack Obama was in a Las Vegas casino, gambling that his re-election bid needed one more stop. It was 1:40 a.m. on his clock, and he was pleading with the hotel cooks and waiters for their votes"http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-10-25/obama-resumes-campaign-marathon-in-florida.)

Here's a hint for future reference.  The date of a news article reporting a donation to a super PAC is NOT the date the contribution was made.  But I kinda think you already knew that.

FWIW, Obama returned to the not-in-play-Nevada again November 1.  I'm sure it was just to raise money.   :o
