Is the West going to get the election short shaft again?

At the best Western-issues magazine around, High Country News, Ed Quillen expresses exactly that worry.

Despite the fact that Barack Obama has put some previously-Red states, like Montana and Nevada, in play, and gotten red-leaning Colorado to start changing colors, Western issues like water supply aren’t being discussed yet.

And, even though John McCain is also, along with Obama, concerned about the reality of global warming AND comes from Arizona, they’re still not being discussed.

If you’re wondering what some other Western issues might be, and how they should be addressed, read the full story. Then, get yourself a subscription.
