Showdown in Searchlight: tea party targets Reid

The organizers want to fit 10,000 tea bags into Searchlight, NV for an anti-Harry Reid rally. Sarah Palin.

Good luck.

It is his home town.

I have been to Searchlight.

It is on the way to Vegas if you go the "back way".

We always stop there for a snack and pit stop but not in the town exactly. We go to a snack bar (and casino) at the airstrip.

Searchlight proper is a no traffic light bumper strip on Rte 95. All the rest is desert. Mines. Ghost towns.

There are three motels. Well, one of those is actually a dude ranch outside of town.

If you are going over the speedlimit, you will be in and out of Searchlight in a minute.

There is a diner/casino in the center. The place we went once.

On either side of Searchlight, north or south, there are about 50 miles of flat out desert. Two and three lane road. Plenty of room for the crowd that the organizers hope for. There will be traffic jams.

I am reporting on this just because I know the place and have sat in its splendor.

I would imagine that Harry Reid has not been there, except to visit, in many years. I don't suppose that he will be there today.

There seems to be some doubt that 10,000 tea bags will be there either. We shall see.

They could pull it off.
