Will they still love us on Wednesday?

Usually ignored in the presidential campaigns, the battleground state of Nevada is now in the cross hairs for Tuesday's election.

Campaign television advertisers have spent an estimated $18 million in the Las Vegas market this year, and that doesn't count the radio ads and millions of pieces of mail sent to voters.

Third-party groups are flooding Nevada streets with canvassers, pestering people to vote.

And the candidates and their high-profile surrogates have made Nevada a regular stop. With the national media in tow, they have raised Nevada issues such as the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository.

"In our history, this attention is unprecedented," state archivist Guy Rocha said. "What we (typically) see is candidates coming to Las Vegas for the money at private fund-raising events.

"But what we have seen this year with so many public appearances is a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
