Romney Goes Full Sagebrush
The thing about Romney basically declaring the Sagebrush Rebellion agenda his official policy on public lands is that it doesn’t attract a single western voter who wasn’t already going to vote for him. Does anyone in Las Vegas care about this issue? Denver? Phoenix? Not a lot. They care in Ely and Grand Junction and Yuma maybe, but there’s not enough people in these places to make a difference. And the states where people really care like Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah are already voting for him anyway. If this was Nevada in 1980, maybe it makes a difference but not now. I just don’t see how this matters at all.
