McCain, in an obvious lie that should offend Nevadans but probably won't, pretends Rogich never told him about kindred spirit Jim Gibbons
Sen. John Sidney McCain III tells the Reno paper that he has never heard of Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons:
In a telephone interview with the
Reno Gazette-Journal during his campaign stop in Las Vegas, McCain said he didn't know enough about Gibbons' political ills to comment on whether they will hurt his own efforts to woo Nevada Republicans this fall, as some political observers have speculated.
