Campaign 2012

Michelle Obama celebrates her 20th wedding anniversary by being in Reno.

Not for a divorce but for a campaign stop on behalf of her husband. As the world knows, he is prepping for tonight's debate with Mitt Romney.

I wish I was down in Reno this campaign season because I would attend all of the events and share observations and photos on this blog. Oregon is simply not in play and probably never will be again in my lifetime. Forty years ago, politicians of note used to campaign in Oregon for the primary, but now it is so late in the year, the nominations have been decided long beforehand.

If I ever get any money again, perhaps I will travel down to Nevada, assuming it remains a battleground state, in 2016. That's assuming I am still alive by then.
