LAS VEGAS — Tea Party activists want to turn conservative anger over the health care overhaul into political muscle in November elections as they call thousands to the hardscrabble desert town that is home to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Sarah Palin is headlining the event today in Searchlight, about 60 miles from Las Vegas. No one is certain how many people will show up or what grievances they might bring. The crowd at the so-called conservative Woodstock could exceed Searchlight’s under-1,000 population tenfold.
The event, sponsored by the Tea Party Express, kicks off a 42-city bus tour that ends in Washington on April 15. The Associated Press
