Informative report about yesterday's tea party rally in Nevada, featuring Sarah Palin and other conservative supporters. This article provides fair and useful facts about this event, presenting perspectives from many tea party activists, as well as supporters of Democratic Senator Harry Reid, who lives a few miles from the rally's location.
