"In terms of political image, Governor Gibbons really has a challenge. The challenge is to get out of your comfort zone with some of the choices who are in your back yard, people you might have know for a long time, to stretch out a little bit and make some choices from the South. It is important. Obviously 70%of the population or more lives down here in Clark County so it makes no sense politically for him to circle the wagons, as it were, with so many choices from the North. "
