Political Wire: "'Nevada could become the New Hampshire of the West under a proposal being considered by national Democrats seeking to broaden the pool of voters choosing the presidential nominee,' according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. Nevada is 'one of two Western states likely to be targeted for a January presidential caucus in 2008.' Meanwhile, the AP reports that 'Nevada and Colorado are the most likely candidates in the West largely because neither has joined a separate movement to hold a Feb. 5 Western States Primary.' Nevada in particular is 'being considered for the January vote because of its growing Hispanic population, large number of union households and booming population.'"

The Moderate Voice: "The New York Sun's Josh Gerstein writes what some talking heads in television have begun to say in passing: Arizona Senator John McCain's star is (for now at least) on the ascent."

Oval Office 2008: "War or nor war, John Brummett of the Arkansas News Bureau reckons Hillary Clinton is unbeatable in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. He expressed this view last week at a meeting of Arkansas county government executives at the Clinton Presidential Library. Hillary has already sewn up the nomination, Brummett reckons, 'owing to the factors that decide party presidential nominations: celebrity, money and good will in the base.'"

The Rocky Mountain News editorial staff comes out in favor of the McCain anti-torture amendment in today's issue [November 28, 2005, "Why torture ban should be a priority"]. They write, "...if Congress wants to include a narrow exemption for a genuine ticking time bomb scenario, that's fine with us. It so happens, however, that none of the controversial cases involving allegations of authorized abuse or torture of enemy combatants by U.S. personnel - of al-Qaida leaders and certain prisoners at Guantanamo - involves a ticking time bomb. Those cases shock the conscience - and should be banned."

Captains Quarters: "In need of some momentum in Congress for legislative traction, George Bush has finally decided to start addressing illegal immigration and the porous southern border of the United States. After seeing almost his entire legislative agenda stalled out between the Iraq war debates and two Supreme Court nominations, Bush needs to apply a push to get some successes from Congress early in the next session."
