The Republican Revolution in Reno
"I was there and I saw what you did. I saw it with my own two eyes. So, you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been. It's all been a pack of lies! - Phil Collins, In the Air Tonight
On a beautiful weekend in April, 2008, 1400 people who care – really care – about the future descended on Reno, NV for one day of excruciating pain. It's true that political animals are concentrated in a party convention, but everyone who is participating in the Nevada Republican State Convention is doing so with their own treasure and time because they think something important will come of their effort.
The one day of pain is even now extending. Although the convention stands in recess, the work continues, and, on some undetermined day in the near future, those 1400 people will have to reconvene and finish the business they started. As the convention business is more than just Presidential politics, I have no doubt that business will be finished soon; the Nevada Republican Party cannot get on with its efforts within the state until the convention is adjourned.
The salacious details of this weekend's festivities in Reno make a good story, but without honesty and attention they will be lost in the dustbin of history. The truth is, the story is too complex and eye-wateringly boring to be told correctly – others who were there have provided good versions to which I could add little. Rather, please allow me to add some clarifying commentary on the import of what has already transpired in the Nevada Republican Convention."
