Glamorous Las Vegas may not seem like the place where American politics would
be a hot issue, but beyond the historic strip of five-star luxury resorts high
unemployment, rampant home foreclosures, and economic hardship have made it a
battleground state – where President Barack Obama and Republican
presidential hopeful Mitt Romney are fighting hard for the
six electoral votes that could secure a win for either candidate.
The latest polls out of Nevada are inconclusive – some showing Mr Obama in a
slight lead, others showing the duo in a dead heat. So while Nevada can seem
overshadowed by the battleground eastern states – like Ohio and Florida – it is
no less a critical win for either candidate.
Colorado in the Rockies was considered to be a Republican stronghold until
President Barack Obama won its nine electoral votes in 2008.
Mitt Romney "needs to be carrying Colorado" to have any chance of winning the
White House, Dr Boys said.
